Michigan Center for Urban African American Aging Research (MCUAAAR)

African Americans have significantly higher rates than Caucasians of diabetes, stroke, heart disease, high blood pressure and certain cancers as they age. MCUAAAR scholars investigate causes of and ways to prevent these health disparities. One of the Center’s major goals is to identify and mentor junior investigators who are committed to research careers involving research with older African Americans. This is an opportunity for junior faculty investigators to join a community of scholars and faculty working on issues related to preparing the next generation of researchers to address racial and ethnic influences on aging related social and behavioral science.
