The Winthrop P. Rockefeller Cancer Institute, in partnership with the UAMS Rural Research Network, has created the Winthrop P. Rockefeller Cancer Institute rural research award program. The goal of this program is to support investigators seeking to collect data for competitive NCI/NIH R01 grant submissions. The program funds projects with a maximum budget of $100,000 each.
Rural Research Award ProgramThe UAMS Rural Research Network engages rural citizens in clinical and translational research by leveraging the clinical and educational infrastructure at UAMS regional family medical clinics. This ensures that Arkansas’ rural populations have access to community health resources and are included in health research.
Rural Arkansans can participate in UAMS research through the ARresearch Registry, provided by the Translational Research Institute. More than 12,000 potential research participants have agreed to be contacted for UAMS research studies, ranging from weight management to sleep disorders.
