Published in the journal JAMA Network Open, a new study found that disparities in US COVID death rates between Black and White adults narrowed substantially from the first to the second year of the pandemic, from 339 deaths to 45 deaths per 100,000 people in 2021, after accounting for age. But this sharp decline mostly resulted from an increase in COVID deaths among White people, as well as a geographical shift in mortality from large, urban cities to rural and smaller metropolitan areas, rather than from decreases in deaths among the Black population.

MedCognetics, Inc., an Artificial Intelligence (AI) software firm, announced that it has been awarded a $750,000 grant from the National Institute of Health (NIH) to research unbiased AI for breast cancer detection. The research grant is from the NIH’s Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning Consortium to Advance Health Equity and Researcher Diversity, or AIM-AHEAD program.

A $500,000 grant from the National Institutes of Health will enable researchers to tackle chronic health disparities through the use of electronic health recor

Chronic diseases such as diabetes, heart disease and cancer disproportionally affect racial and ethnic minorities.

The money from the National Institutes of Health means the University of North Texas Health Science Center at Fort Worth will lead the coordinating center for the AIM-AHEAD program over the next two years.
