Welcome ScholarsThe W. Montague Cobb/NMA Health Institute has established the Cobb Scholars Group in 2016 and continues to develop enhancements to the program that will attract potential members and provide value for those individuals who have interest in participating in Health Disparities Research. In addition, there is a desire among early career physicians and scientists to be outstanding faculty members that serve in a unique way each of the existing medical schools in the United States as well as other institutions of higher learning. The Cobb Institute was launched by the National Medical Association in December 2004 at Howard University, the academic home of Dr. William Montague Cobb, for whom it was named. The mission of the Cobb Institute is to focus upon identifying issues and developing solutions that will reduce racial and ethnic health and healthcare disparities and to improve the health of all Americans. It has become apparent through the activities of the Cobb Institute that there is a meaningful opportunity to engage in the early career advising, mentoring and specialized education for professionals who desire to excel as researchers as well.
