S. 2927 would authorize the National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities (NIMHD) to facilitate research on minority health disparities through research endowments at current or former centers of excellence.
NIMHD is currently carrying out activities similar to those required by S. 2927. The institute provides research endowments to centers of excellence, and the bill would not alter the frequency or the amount of such research endowments. Thus, CBO estimates that implementing the bill would not have a significant cost; any spending would be subject to the availability of appropriated funds.
