Abstract
The Minority Biomedical Research Support Program (MBRS), which is funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), was initially established in 1972 at four-year colleges to correct the underrepresentation of minorities in biomedical research and to help eliminate obstacles to their participation. However, by 1980, the NIH realized that the majority of ethnic minority students attended two-year colleges (67%). Funding for the MBRS program was then begun at the two-year college level. East Los Angeles College (ELAC) is one of three community colleges in the nation and the only one in California that currently has this type of grant.
