In this issue of The TRIbune, we feature a research project co-led by one of our KL2 scholar graduates, Taren Swindle, Ph.D., that is utilizing the resources of the UAMS Rural Research Network. Swindle and Lorraine McKelvey, Ph.D., are using the network to study an expansion of their innovative nutrition education program, Together, We Inspire Smart Eating (WISE).

This issue also includes our Study of the Month, featuring a multi-site stroke study led at UAMS by Sanjeeva Onteddu, M.D., with research services provided by TRI.  

We also highlight the results of our Summer Writing Challenge 2023, which concluded with an ice cream celebration and award ceremony.

Read The TRIbune.
