Community Based Participatory Research (CBPR) Scholars Program
The CBPR Scholars Program’s goal is to increase community partnered research at UAMS to better serve the research needs of the Arkansas community and ultimately to reduce health disparities in Arkansas. The program provides training and targeted grant opportunities for new CBPR partnerships (consisting of both academic and community partners).
