Competitive Grant Research Program

The Mississippi Institute for the Improvement of Geographic Minority Health established the Competitive Grant Research

 

Program (CRGP) to encourage and support new research on minority and rural health, aimed at addressing and eliminating

 

health disparities. The Institute awarded four grants in 2007, totaling $100,000, with the possibility of an extension for an

 

additional 12 months, depending on funding availability and satisfactory progress.
