NIH Academy on Health Disparities

The NIH Academy is a year-long program that offers postbacs the opportunity to learn about health disparities, enhance their knowledge of gaps in health outcomes, and investigate what is being done to address health disparity issues.

Participants will get opportunities to reflect on what remains to be done and untap their own potential to play an active and critical role to help address these disparities. The NIH Academy trains future researchers, physicians, and physician scientists to lead change and promote a society in which all people live healthy lives and have equal access to health care.
