The NEW Minority Research Center on Tobacco and Addictions is Now Open!

The University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff, MISRGO, and the Master of Science in Addiction Studies Program are all excited to announce the creation of the Minority Research Center on Tobacco and Addictions (MRC)!

The center’s vision is to improve the health of Arkansans, particularly the minority population, through the radical reduction in the use of tobacco and other substances.  MRC will act to provide assistance to the state and nation in tobacco and other substance abuse research, prevention, education, technical assistance and evaluation, especially in regard to minority populations (Blacks, Hispanics, Marshall Islanders, and Asians).  Essentially, it will act as a clearing house for all research in Arkansas about tobacco use in minority communities.

The MRC is located on campus at the University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff. To learn more about the Minority Research Center on Tobacco and Addictions call us at 870-575-3923.
