Program Overview
The goal of TRI’s Pilot Program is to provides seed funds for feasibility testing and generation of preliminary data to support future research efforts that will make a measurable positive impact on health issues facing Arkansans.
Request for Applications (RFAs) are released biannually and rotate among these four focus areas:
- Health concerns and challenges of rural and underrepresented populations.
- Implementation science to incorporate new research findings into the health care system, including rural practices.
- Biomedical informatics approaches that examine unique state data resources.
- Community and/or stakeholder-partnered research.
