Welcome to the Morehouse School of Medicine (MSM)
Research Centers in Minority Institutions Program (RCMI) website.

Major support for the biomedical research infrastructure of MSM is received through the RCMI Program, which is sponsored by the National Centers for Research Resources of the National Institutes of Health. State of the art biomedical research technology cores, shared use facilities, and other resources (e.g., Division of Information Technology Services - DITS) at MSM have been developed with RCMI funds for use by our scientific investigators. RCMI support has also facilitated the development of several areas of research focus at the institution (e.g., cardiovascular disease, HIV/AIDS, neuroscience, reproductive biology, and molecular immunology).

The RCMI Program has made an incalculable contribution to the ability of the MSM faculty to do research. MSM has experienced dramatic increases in the parameters that are most commonly used to measure research capacity and productivity (i.e., amount of research space; number of grants; amount of research funding; number of research associates; number of research faculty; number of peer reviewed publications). The RCMI program has been the key in this remarkable development of biomedical research capacity and productivity at MSM.
