The Albert Einstein College of Medicine at Yeshiva University (N.Y.) has received a $10 million grant from the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute for a large-scale health study of 4,000 Hispanic Bronx residents. The study hopes to identify the prevalence and risk factors of several diseases among the Hispanic community. NHLBI has also awarded a five-year, $2.5 million grant to the City College of New York’s Department of Biomedical Engineering to create a national model for minority biomedical engineering education. The grant will provide full tuition and summer research stipends for up to 20 minority undergraduates in biomedical engineering majors.
