简介（由申请人提供）：莫尔豪斯医学院（MSM）致力于改善个人和社区的健康和福祉；增加卫生专业人员和科学工作人员的多样性；通过教育、研究和服务项目解决初级卫生保健需求，重点关注乔治亚州和全国有色人种和服务不足的城市和农村人口。这一使命在2014年与1975年MSM成立时一样迫切和必要。机构研究的重点是建立在发展少数民族生物医学的关键数量的平台上，

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Morehouse School of Medicine (MSM) is dedicated to improving the health and well-being of individuals and communities; increasing the diversity of the health professional and scientific workforce; and addressing primary healthcare needs through programs in education, research, and service, with emphasis on people of color and the underserved urban and rural populations in Georgia and the nation. This mission is as compelling and needed in 2014 as it was in 1975, when MSM was founded. The institutional research priorities are built on the platform of developing a critical mass of minority biomedical, clinical and behavioral investigators. These cadres (i) train future generations of scientists, (ii serve as faculty role models, and (iii) pursue state of-the-art research that address the MSM mission as described above. It is our educational philosophy that academic health centers that care for the underserved must play a leadership role in biomedical/translational research, by partnering with the community to bring the necessary advances in basic science, clinical, and community medicine to these special populations.
