Promoting innovative cross-sector research initiatives that benefit Arkansas communities requires resources. We need funding to support a full-time Program Director that oversees all day to day operations, conducts outreach, manages our affiliate platform, and oversees the annual symposium and fundraising. Funds are needed for re-granting to support new cross-sector and cross-disciplinary teams in research initiatives that impact the state. The symposium requires significant outlays for venue rental, program materials, and other typical conference costs. Your donation will ensure that the NSCFH affiliate platform is an up to date and useful tool and the symposium is beneficial to participants. Ensuring high quality delivery of these resources will empower affiliates to more effectively improve food, nutrition, and health outcomes for the people of Arkansas. Your donation will have a lasting impact on the well-being of communities across our state.
