UMKC Rural Research Award
Thank you for your interest in UMKC’s Rural Research Award, which is funded by a grant from the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA).
This award is part of UMKC’s rural medical education program, funded in part by HRSA to support medical student training and development for students with a goal to practice in rural, under-served and under-resourced areas. If you have a research project focused on rural health, please complete the UMKC Rural Research Award Application (Word doc) to apply for a research stipend.
The award will allow for reimbursement for travel to a conference or related research project needs. Awards will be based on how closely the student application and research project match with the goals of the UMKC program and HRSA grant. If you have previously received an award, a second award will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
