MISSION

The Indiana Minority Health Coalition (IMHC), Inc. Department of Research and Training promotes the discovery, empowerment, and linkages of communities to resources for ensuring success. The Department of Research and Training is composed of two centers, the Racial and Ethnic Minority Epidemiology (REME) Center and the Community Capacity Building Technical Assistance and Training Center (CCBTATC).

REME Center Mission:
To serve as a centralized source for the collection and dissemination of information that will influence policy and provide direction for the enhancement of health activities targeting Indiana's various racial and ethnic minority populations. In fulfillment of the REME Center mission, the Resource Center has been developed.

CCBTATC Mission:
To provide quality, culturally appropriate information and training services that assist in meeting goals and objectives.

The goal of the Resource Center is to serve as a centralized repository for minority health data and literature. The Resource Center will serve the community in two ways. One way is through the use of the Internet, in which interested individuals and organizations can access minority health data and literature from federal, state, and local sources. Another way is through the use of an on-site resource library whose catalog will be accessible via the internet, as well. Individuals will be able to check out materials for projects they are working on, or information they need. Currently, the on-site library is under development and will be available in the future.
