Dr. Bellido to Lead a Creativity Hub

College of Medicine Dean Susan Smyth, M.D., Ph.D., and Nancy Rusch, Ph.D., Vice Dean for Research, announced the launch of four inaugural Creativity Hubs. Each group will receive an investment of $300,000 over the next 18 months to grow collaborative and thematic research programs. The hubs will work to expand interdisciplinary research, plan programmatic grant proposals, strengthen workforce diversity, and mentor junior faculty and trainees in specific areas of research strength. These four initiatives were chosen from 23 applications submitted to the College of Medicine Research Office. Funding is being provided by the COM and the Office of the UAMS Vice Chancellor for Research and Innovation, led by Dr. Shuk-Mei Ho.
