2023 ABRC Educational Grant available for your event idea!
Apply for funds for your next biomedical related program!
Student groups, faculty, and others are welcome to apply.
Arizona Biomedical Research Centre (ABRC) provides funding to accelerate promising research toward clinical testing and breakthroughs designed to improve the health of all Arizonans. In working with Arizona researchers and through its commitment to the Arizona Biosciences Roadmap, ABRC identified a need to make high quality educational resources available to the community. The Research Education Program seeks to create a shared sense of community by bringing national and local experts together to engage Arizona researchers and clinical professionals in emerging topics at little or no cost to the research community. The goals of this program are to strengthen the knowledge, skills, and abilities of Arizona researchers, as well as encourage collaboration and networking.
ABRC currently contracts with state universities to provide ongoing research education and training in the form of conferences and workshops. These events have a common connection:
- Are at little or no cost to participants
- Enable a shared sense of community among biomedical researchers
- Engage researchers and clinical professionals in emerging topics of importance
- Deliver high quality programming
Since 2017, Arizona State University (ASU), through Research Development (RD) has hosted a variety of events with ABRC grant funds. We have reached well over 1,000 attendees across the state of Arizona.
