TheRural Champions program is designed to create a network of grassroots individuals who possess the necessary tools to resolve critical community needs in a quick and effective manner.

In many cases for rural communities, the lack of capacity in human capital prohibits critical needs from being addressed. The Rural Champions program has provided the support needed to fill the gap in driving successes throughout Kansas.

The Rural Champion is someone identified and sponsored by a host organization in their community to take on a project that will have lasting impact. The selected twelve took on various projects that have been evidenced by need across the state. The processes that the Rural Champions utilized has been captured, creating additional roadmaps for change that other rural communities can then follow to do similar work. A highlight of each of these projects can be found in the 2023 Rural Champion Project Guidebook. In the sections below you can read more information about each of the project.
Counties have identified that to be able to create a future for their residents and keep thriving communities, they needed programs to concentrate on and promote community development for programs in the long term.
Revitalizing communities through placemaking is a trend sweeping through rural communities. As communities begin to invest in themselves and build energy around beautification projects, people will see that it is a place where they want to live and be involved.

Rigorous experimental procedures and transparent reporting of research results are vital to the continued success of the biomedical enterprise at both the preclinical and the clinical levels. See below for more information on efforts to catalyze communities of champions to promote rigorous research.
This funding opportunity aims to support the establishment of programs to enhance research rigor and transparency practices within academic and research institutions to promote a culture of high-quality neuroscience research. Awards are intended to support the implementation of innovative programs, strategies, and approaches at the departmental, inter-departmental, or equivalent intra-institutional entity level.
This Challenge seeks creative and effective approaches to changing research culture around rigorous and transparent research practices that have been tested or employed by the participant(s). These approaches can be on a small scale or a much larger one, and they can be driven by an individual or a small team. Promoting rigorous research practices and transparent reporting involves many members of the scientific community, so we encourage submissions from all rigor champions, including trainees and other early-career researchers, administrators, librarians, staff scientists, faculty, and other integral members of the scientific community from diverse disciplines and types of organizations.
Scientific meetings are an important venue for disseminating findings, but space and time for experimental design details is often limited. Thus, to facilitate increased transparency in scientific presentations, we propose the use of rigor icons to quickly and easily convey the experimental design details. Rigor icons are simple symbols that can be added to figures to easily convey important experimental design details in scientific presentations.
