TRI is now seeking applicants for a new Team Science Champion Award that will support early stage, cross-disciplinary collaborations.
One-year grants of up to $75,000 will be awarded to up to two cross-disciplinary teams. The funded research will involve telemedicine, digital health or other innovative technologies, and it will address rural health. Proposed projects will involve a collaboration with a rural provider, such as the UAMS Rural Research Network or similar located outside of the UAMS Little Rock campus catchment area.
TRI is particularly interested in projects that forge new collaborations across multiple disciplines that directly support its mission to develop new knowledge and novel approaches that will measurably address the complex health challenges of Arkansas’ rural and underrepresented populations.
Team Science Champion Award information sessions will be offered on 12/16/21, 01/06/22, and 01/27/22. Please email Adam Kleinerman (akleinerman@uams.edu) or Paul Duguid (pduguid@uams.edu) if you would like to attend one of these sessions.
Letters of Intent are due Feb. 7, 2022. Submit your letter here.
All applications must be received no later than March 14, 2022.
