Grants

• The University of Arkansas received a five-year, $6.6 million grant from the National Center for Minority Health Disparities for several research projects. The money will fund a study of a diabetes lifestyle intervention program in rural, predominantly black communities. Another study will focus on improving the health of low-income black and Hispanic adults and children. A third project will fund a program to help historically black colleges and universities in Arkansas steer students into careers in public health.
