Fund to Cure Stroke. I instigated this fund in March of 2013. Working with Renie
Rule, Director of Development for the College of Medicine, a fund was set up in
the UAMS Foundation for stroke research in all UAMS colleges. William C. Culp,
MD, was added as an organizer of this fund. The fund was approved in
September of 2013 and fund raising began. A panel of 5 scientists and clinicians
Page 27

knowledgeable in stroke, both clinical and research, from the UAMS campus and
Arkansas Children’s Hospital review grant applications and approve those which
will be funded. The first applications were received in April of 2014. To date
$262,000 has been raised and 6 research projects have been funded for about
$30,000 each. I will continue working to raise funds and manage the fund after
retirement.
