About the Research Resources and Outreach Core

The Research Resources and Outreach Core (RROC) leverages existing Research Centers in Minority Institutions Program (RCMI) research infrastructure to address needs in mentorship training and support the entry of new scholars across NIMHD funded RCMI institutions. RROC integrates with the Cores by engaging the leadership across RCMI and partnering Clinical and Translational Science Awards (CTSA) to sustain interest from scholars, cultivate master trainers, and expand NRMN’s portfolio of new training grants.
