Community Conversations: NIH To Fund Project Targeting Minority Communities Affected By COVID-19

In today’s Community Conversation, millions of grant dollars are coming to Texas to help bridge the gap in racial disparities of COVID-19. Minority groups have been hit harder by the pandemic and now a team from the UNT Health Science Center will use grant money to help recruit minorities into vaccine trials and dispel false information about the coronavirus. NBC 5’S Bianca Castro spoke with Dr. Eliseo Pérez-Stable of National Institute of Mental Health Disparities and Dr. Jamboor K. Vishwanatha of UNT Health Science Center of Fort Worth.
