ACRI Research Grants and Contracts Administration

The Grants Team supports investigators and staff at Arkansas Children’s Research Institute (ACRI) throughout the lifecycle of sponsored research. This includes the review, approval and submission of grant proposals, as well as the acceptance and setup of awarded funding.

In addition, the team assists with award modifications, subawards, Just-in-Time (JIT) requests and provides guidance on the preparation and submission of progress reports. The Grants Team also serves as a resource for interpreting sponsor requirements and advising applicable federal, state and local regulations, as well as ACRI policies and procedures.
