History of Medicine Associates Annual Research Award

The History of Medicine Associates of the UAMS Library is once again offering a research award as it has done each year since 1985. The Medical Education Foundation for Arkansas generously provides partial funding for this award, which is in the amount of $1,000.

The goal of the award is to encourage original research that contributes to the history of the health sciences in Arkansas, and the award may be used for expenses related to the original research for which the prize is awarded.

The applicant must submit:

• a brief abstract (100 words) of the proposal,
• statement of the significance of the proposal,
• summary of the proposal (1-2 pages),
• detailed budget,
• anticipated completion date, and
• brief resume or curriculum vitae.

Proposals should be submitted to the Treasurer of the Associates by May 31, 2002. Guidelines are available from the Treasurer (Margaret Johnson, (501) 686 6733, johnsonmargareta@uams.edu ) or the Library's webpage section for the History of Medicine Associates: www.library.uams.edu/services/HRC/award.htm.
