Brief Description
The purpose of the immigrant health initiative is to support research to design and implement effective interventions to enhance health advantages and reduce health disparities among U.S. immigrant populations (particularly agricultural workers, unaccompanied minors, first generation immigrants, and children of immigrant families) and address factors related to immigration experiences that affect health. For this Notice of Special Interest (NOSI), the term "1st generation" refers to people who were born outside of the U.S. and its territories and relocated to the U.S. The term "2nd generation" refers to the U.S. born children of 1st generation immigrants.
