Intramural Funding (COM and UAMS)
In addition to research funding from donors, corporations, foundations and federal sources, UAMS offers internal funding opportunities. These are open to research faculty and have various deadlines.
Campus-wide Funding
Arkansas Biosciences Institute/Tobacco
Funding – Variable Awards. These grants provide support to start new research projects, purchase scientific equipment, fund core facilities and recruit new faculty. A description of the proposed activity, a budget, and budget justification are required for review by the Tobacco Allocation Committee. Annual funds are limited.

Medical Research Endowment Fund - $10,000 to $15,000 maximum. These grants provide pilot research funding that has the potential to develop into extramurally funded, scientifically significant research projects. Support is focused on new areas of research for young faculty investigators and new avenues of research for mature investigators.
Center for Translational
Neuroscience (CTN) COBRE - $50,000 award. Only
current UAMS faculty (tenure/non-tenure track) who have never been
awarded a NIH R01 grant as PI may apply. Preference will be accorded to
projects involving substantiated collaboration between basic and
clinician scientists. The Project PI should devote no less than 25%.
The requirements are very specific and the applicants should address any
questions to the Director (GarciaRillEdgar@uams.edu) before submitting a
proposal. For more information,

College of Medicine Funding
COM Pilot Study Grants - $25,000 maximum. These grants are designed to provide support to start new projects. New investigators or senior investigators moving into a new area of research are particularly encouraged to apply. A research description, budget, and budget justification are required for Research Council review. Annual funds are limited.
COM Bridging Grants - $15,000 maximum. These grants are designed to provide bridging support to investigators who are unsuccessful at renewing a federal or foundation grant. In addition to a research description, budget, and budget justification, the proposal requires submission of a critique from the funding agency/foundation and letter of commitment from the faculty member’s Chair is required for Research Council review. COM Bridging Grant awards require a significant match from the faculty member’s Department. Annual funds are limited. A research description, budget, and budget justification required for Research Council review. Annual funds are limited.
Instrumentation Grants
- $30,000 maximum. the College of
Medicine recognizes that start-of-the-art instrumentation is
essential for conducting modern biomedical research that is capable
of attracting extramural funding. Such
instrumentation is increasingly
expensive and difficult to acquire through such
normal extramural grant
mechanisms. The purpose of this program is to provide a mechanism
or researchers in the College of
Medicine to obtain relatively small pieces of research equipment for
shared use.
Hornick Endowment for Research into Stroke and Related Disorders
– Variable awards. These grants are designed to promote research into the causes, prevention, and treatment of stroke and related disorders.
Department Specific Grants
Translational Pathology Grant Program - Funding available to Department of Pathology faculty only. Variable awards and amounts; subject to interdepartmental and extra-departmental peer-review process. Purpose of grant support is to promote translational research, which generates data supporting extramural grant applications. For
more information, Email Patty
Gminsky.
Arkansas Children's Hospital Research
Institute - ACHRI administers competitive funding
programs for scientists employed by UAMS and affiliated with Arkansas
Children’s Hospital. For more information,

Collaborative Funding Opportunities
NIH, NSF, and others
- Various grants have been submitted with components that provide
for pilot funding grants in basic science, clinical, and translational
research. After UAMS is awarded these grants, the pilot funding
opportunities will be posted here.
