Brunson Endowment Grant

Program Purpose

The Ruth H. Brunson Foundation grant program supports research focused on heart disease and other cardiovascular diseases. The program seeks to fund outstanding research that advances our understanding of the complications resulting from cardiovascular disease that may lead to new treatments to prevent and alleviate them.

A major objective of the Ruth Brunson Foundation grant program is to provide seed money to initiate a project and acquire the necessary data for submission of a major extramural grant application to a federal agency or national foundation.

This grant mechanism will support investigator-initiated research conducted by faculty in the UAMS College of Medicine (COM).

Eligibility Requirements

Open to current UAMS COM faculty only. The project proposal must clearly explain how the project relates to heart disease and cardiovascular research. The project must be feasible for completion in a 12-month period.

*** Please be advised faculty can submit one project to each grant opportunity. Multiple grant submissions must be scientifically distinct. ***
