| Helene Langevin, M.D. March 2, 2021 Im writing today to express my full support and that of all of my colleagues at the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH) for the new National Institutes of Health (NIH) UNITE initiative to end structural racism in biomedical research. UNITE, announced yesterday by NIH Director Dr. Francis Collins, aims to address structural racism at NIH, the institutions we support, and anywhere that NIH research activities take place, with the goal of ending racial inequities across the biomedical research enterprise. All of us in the NIH leadership are committed to this long-term effort to find new ways to support diversity, equity, and inclusion and to end policies or practices that may stand in the way. We hope everyone in the research community will join us in meeting this challenge. |
