What's Hot in Allied Health Funding


Health issues have received quite a bit of attention in the media in recent months. In an upcoming research collaboration session, faculty at UNF will discuss opportunities for collaboration within the field of Allied Health. See the details below.

The Office of Research and Sponsored Programs (ORSP) and the
Office of Faculty Enhancement (OFE) will sponsor a collaboration
session on What’s Hot in Allied Health Research Funding.

The participants will teleconference with Program Officers at
the National Institutes of Health (NIH) who will discuss current
trends in Health related funding and who will answer
questions from the group about future funding opportunities.

The participants in small, multidisciplinary groups then will
discuss opportunities that exist at UNF that match these
current trends in the field. Researchers in the Allied Health
field as well as those in associated or supportive fields are
encouraged to bring their ideas and to discuss possibilities
for collaboration with other researchers at UNF.

The event will be held:
