What is this project about?
The Morehouse School of Medicine is working on a project called the National COVID-19 Resiliency Network, or NCRN. This project brings together organizations from across the country to meet the COVID-19 needs of people from minority races and ethnicities. NCRN does this by:

• Creating clear and easy to read information on COVID-19
• Sharing COVID-19 resources for communities that do not receive enough of the COVID-19 services they need
• Doing research to learn more about the communities that are most affected by COVID-19

What is AUCD's role?
The role of AUCD is to make sure that people with disabilities are included in conversations about what people need during COVID-19. We will share information and resources about COVID-19 that is easy to understand and reflect many different cultures.
