EXPORT Excellence in Partnerships for Community Outreach and Research on Disparities in Health and Training. In 2005 the University of North Texas Health Science Center was awarded a five year grant by the National center for Minority Health and Health Disparities (NCMHD) to establish an EXPORT Center.

NCMHD envisions an America in which all populations will have an equal opportunity to live long, healthy and productive lives. We at The University of North Texas Health Science Center share the same vision as NCMHD and have been a leader among the Health Science Centers in Texas in training minority biomedical scientists and in developing innovative programs specifically tailored to Texas minority populations. As part of our continued commitment to combat the problem of health disparities and promote educational and training activities for underrepresented minorities, we have established the “Texas Center for Health Disparities (TCHD).
