Research
The AMHPS’ member
institutions are located in minority communities and have years
of experience networking and developing rapport with people of
the community. This relationship has developed a level of trust
which is not enjoyed by the scientific community-at-large or the
federal government. AMHPS institutions are thus, uniquely poised
to capitalize on this resource as a means of becoming more
involved in clinical trials, populations-genetics studies or any
studies involving ethical issues related to genetic or other
diseases.
The research projects of participating AMHPS institutions have
significantly increased the scientific information base and
contributed to improved health status. In addition, AMHPS’
institutions research has resulted in a stronger infrastructure
to meet the unique public health needs of underserved
communities.
