The PA can be found at: http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PA-07-388.html.

A major goal of this conference is to promote healthcare-based research aimed at reducing or eliminating disparities in diabetes and obesity-related outcomes. This 1½-day conference will feature presentations about important factors in healthcare-based disparities research as well as discussions of unique design, measurement, and methodology issues.
