Vice Chancellor’s Message
Larry D. Milne, Ph.D.We are proud to present this report of current research at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS). Research at UAMS is a vibrant part of our institution's four-part mission: to teach, to heal, to search, to serve.
UAMS has approximately 1,200 active clinical protocols. In fiscal year 200-05, UAMS and its affiliate institutions -- Arkansas Children's Hospital and the Central Arkansas Veterans Healthcare System -- received approximately $112 million in extramural funding for research. This figure represents an all-time high for our campus, and a $6 million increase from the previous year.
At UAMS, we offer our researchers every possible assistance, from help with writing grant proposals, to sophisticated laboratory equipment and other core facilities, to assistance with patent applications, to a generous profit-sharing plan for medical inventions.
The UAMS Institutional Review Board IRB was granted full accreditation status in 2005 by the American Association for Human Research Protection Programs (AAHRPP). This is another of many ways UAMS expresses its commitment to conducting world-class research. Click here to view a guide for participants in medical research.
We value all of the members of our diverse research community: the career technicians who staff our laboratories, the instructors and administrators, the graduate students who come to us from around the world, the younger scientists who enliven our campus with scientific curiosity, and the senior scientists whose discoveries help make the world a healthier place.
Larry D. Milne, Ph.D.
Vice Chancellor,
Academic Affairs and Research Administration
