On June 29, 2021, the school announced that its Satcher Health Leadership Institute "launched the first-of-its-kind Health Equity Tracker (HET) for the United States with support from Google.org..." The tracker "enables MSM to provide a detailed view of health outcomes by race, ethnicity, sex, and other critical factors with a health equity–first approach." The goal of the HET is to "help policymakers understand what resources and support communities need to be able to improve their outcomes on a range of health issues."

On Nov 3, 2021, the school reported that "Through new partnerships with the four HBCU medical schools, the Charles R. Drew University of Medicine and Science, the Howard University College of Medicine, Meharry Medical College, and the Morehouse School of Medicine, alongside the National Black Nurses Association and National Association of Hispanic Nurses, Abbott has dedicated $5 million to fund nearly 300 scholarships over the next five years to support the next generation of ethnically diverse nurses, doctors and researchers who will lead and support future clinical trials."
-
On July 27, 2022, the school's News Center reported that the "Morehouse School of Medicine is part of a new $10 million, Pharma-sponsored initiative called Equitable Breakthroughs in Medicine Development." The article goes on to state, "MSM doctors explain that some minorities are simply never asked to participate in clinical trials, or some groups may be reluctant, especially when they think about the Tuskegee experiment. But when Black and Brown people are not included in trials, it causes a huge disparity in research."
-
MSM's Office of Global Health Equity "was established in January 2018, as part of MSM's 2015-2020 strategic plan to broaden diversity in the healthcare, scientific and public health workforces and lead the next generation’s global health training and education."
