Increasing Engagement with Underserved Communities:
AUCD partners with Morehouse School of Medicine National COVID-19 Resiliency Network (MSM NCRN)
Wednesday, February 10, 2021, 4:00 – 5:00 p.m. ET
Webinar Description:
The Morehouse School of Medicine National COVID-19 Resiliency Network (MSM NCRN) coordinates a strategic and structured national network of local, state/territorial/tribal, national, and community-based organizations that will
mitigate impact of COVID-19 on racial and ethnic minority, and rural populations. This project is supported by a $40 million award from the U.S. Department of Human and Health Services Office of Minority Health as part of the National Infrastructure for Mitigating
the Impact of COVID-19 within Racial and Ethnic Minority Communities (NIMIC). The MSM NCRN is in partnership with community-based organizations, corporate companies, academic institutions, healthcare centers, hospital systems, faith-based organizations, and
federal agencies.
The Association of University Centers on Disabilities (AUCD) is a proud strategic partner with the Morehouse School of Medicine NCRN grant. AUCD will serve its network members and the disability community by developing messaging
to disseminate culturally and linguistically appropriate information, serving individuals disproportionately affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. This project is for community, by community, with the intention of targeting specific racial/ethnic communities
(i.e.; African Americans, Latinx, Native Americans, Native Hawaiians, Asian Americans, Alaskan Natives and other Pacific Islanders) at the intersection of disability.
Come learn more about the project and how you an AUCD Network member can support it in your community.
