Research at ACH
The Arkansas Children's Hospital Research Institute ACHRI
The Arkansas Children’s Research Institute (ACHRI) is a not-for-profit corporation owned by Arkansas Children’s Hospital. It is located one block south of the main hospital building. Clinical research at ACHRI contributes to new medication development and to new technology that will improve patient care. Basic and applied research studies at ACHRI seek answers to questions about human health and diseases that may one day contribute to new or improved methods for disease treatment or prevention. ACHRI’s health services and community health researchers improve communities through health promotion, health outcomes, health services, and prevention research. Over 100 pediatric researchers, with expertise and experience that span the breadth of medical disciplines, work to fulfill ACHRI’s mission to improve children’s health, development, and well-being through high quality research.
