- Minority Investigator Website Members of the Working Group on Health Disparities of NIH's Office of Behavioral and Social Sciences Research (OBSSR) maintains a website designed to foster mentoring relationships between junior minority investigators and NIH grantees in the behavioral and social sciences. The web page fosters these relationships by facilitating the use of the NIH Research Supplements for Underrepresented Minorities program. The goal of this site is to link minority students and junior investigators with NIH-funded behavioral and social scientists.
- The 100 Minority Scholarship Gateway List provides links to over 100 different scholarships and grants.
