The Rutgers Asian Resource Center for Minority Aging Research (RCMAR) has received $3.4 million in funding from the NIH to address the gap in research focused on U.S. Asian populations.

The goals of the center are to:

  • Understand the cross-ethnic variations in the social, cultural, and behavioral mechanisms of trauma, stress, and resilience across U.S. Asian populations.
  • Explore the differential health outcomes associated with trauma, immigration, and mechanisms of resilience in U.S. Asian populations.
  • Support early-career researchers through funding, education, and training, and build community capacity to address health disparities and improve health outcomes.
