Mentored Grant Writing Program

Research and Innovation partnered with the Translational Research Institute to launch a Mentored Grant-Writing Program for Research Academy Scholars. This initiative expands research success via a structured grant-writing program with dedicated expert mentors. If you are interested in applying for the 2022 class, See the application details.

The College of Health Professions and the UAMS Faculty Center developed important examples/guides for successful grant writing.

  • Budgets and Budget Justifications
  • Biosketches and other Attachments

Online Examples of Funded and Non-funded grants for training purposes

  • Sample applications and the corresponding summary statements of successful NIAID applications

Tooting Your Own Horn!

Want to learn how to share your research and its importance with non-scientists? (Hint: methods/depth of detail are different!)

The Alan Alda Center for Communicating Science empowers scientists/health professionals to describe complex topics in clear, vivid, and engaging ways for better understanding by those outside their discipline (e.g., public, media, patients, elected officials). See The Alda Method
