The University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS) received a $2,268,000 Federal Project Grant from the National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences (NCATS) Program (CFDA 93.350) with a five-year award period from July 1, 2024 to June 30, 2029. The grant funding will support UAMS' CTSA K12 Program, which aims to develop a diverse cohort of successful translational scientists to drive real-world solutions and enhance health equity for rural and underrepresented populations in Arkansas. The program will provide interdisciplinary training, mentored research projects, and individualized development opportunities to build expertise in key translational science competencies. UAMS plans to leverage its Translational Research Institute's unique resources in implementation science, community engagement, informatics, and telehealth to support the scholars' research projects. The program intends to recruit and retain a diverse group of scholars, building on the success of UAMS' existing KL2 program, which has trained 22 productive scholars to date.
