Export Health Project
EXPORT Health - In September, 2002, the Center for Minority Health was awarded a $6 million grant from the National Center on Minority Health and Health Disparities, a new Center within the National Institutes of Health. Project EXPORT (Excellence in Partnerships for Community Outreach, and Research on Disparities in Health and Training) provides funding for the establishment of a Center of Excellence to address and ultimately eliminate racial and ethnic health disparities. The Center for Minority Health calls its Center for Excellence EXPORT Health. EXPORT Health provides a mechanism by which the University of Pittsburgh, through its Graduate School of Public Health?s Center for Minority Health, can strengthen its research and training infrastructure for the study and elimination of minority health disparities. For 10 years, the Center for Minority Health has embodied the philosophy of creating academic and community partnerships to solve health problems for minorities. EXPORT Health works by uniting academic scholars, and public, private and community organizations to focus on key disparity areas in minority health.
