The NIAAA has made concerted efforts to support the development of minority researchers and has devoted resources to better addressing disparities that exist among groups from disadvantaged backgrounds. Given the health disparities that exist in Mississippi there is an increased need for alcohol researchers in the state. See the links below for more information.
