Who We Are
In 2011, leadership of the University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff 15% Set-A-Side Committee implemented the vision of a facility that would house all information and best practices regarding the impact of tobacco and addictions within minority communities. This vision was soon translated into the Minority Research Center on Tobacco and Addictions (MRC).
The Minority Research Center on Tobacco and Addictions’ mission is 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).
*Within thirty (30) days of receipt of moneys into the Prevention and Cessation Program Account, fifteen percent (15%) of those moneys shall be deposited into a special account within the prevention and cessation account at the Department of Health to be expended for tobacco prevention and cessation in minority communities as directed by the Director of the Department of Health in consultation with the Chancellor of the University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff, the President of the Arkansas Medical, Dental and Pharmaceutical Association, and the League of United Latin American Citizens.
