UCSF CCMBM Junior Investigator Travel Award RFP

Application Deadline: December 20, 2024, 12:00PM PST

Proposals reviewed and funded on a rolling basis.

CCMBM is pleased to announce the CCMBM Junior Investigator Travel Award, which is intended to support the travel of trainees to develop expertise, network, or acquire skills in a field at a scientific conference that the applicants may otherwise be unable to attend.

The award is particularly designed to encourage travel to a conference where the trainee may not be presenting an abstract, but where interactions with other attendees and participation in conference activities can serve as a springboard for trainees to transition to the next stages in their scientific careers.

CCMBM Tools & Technology Grant Program RFA

Application Deadline: January 6, 2025

Award Notifications: End of January 2025

The UCSF Core Center in Musculoskeletal Biology and Medicine (CCMBM) is accepting applications for its Tools and Technology (T/T) Grant Program. Research topics should be within the musculoskeletal (MSK) field. The goal of this grant mechanism is to encourage members from any UC campus to develop or adopt cutting-edge technologies or computational resources that have yet to be widely used for MSK research. T/T funds will help investigators customize and demonstrate the feasibility of these approaches for MSK-specific research needs.

Priority will be given to early career investigators and to projects that make new protocols available to other CCMBM members through UCSF Cores, including CoLabs and CCMBM Cores.

2024-2025 CCMBM Seminar Series

We are excited to host the above upcoming seminars and bring speakers to the UCSF community this 2023-2024 academic year. CCMBM members, including junior investigators, trainees and learners, have priority to meet with visiting faculty speakers. The CCMBM Seminar Committee will follow up with scheduling details as we near each speaker’s visit. Contact Pui Yee Law if you would like us to consider and invite potential speakers to visit UCSF.

QB3 Seminar: What You Need to Know About Filing an IND

Filing an Investigational New Drug application with the FDA is a necessary step in advancing to clinical trials. It is frequently identified as a company milestone — but it is not a value inflection point in and of itself. What is the purpose of an IND? What does it mean to investors, and what resources does it take to be IND-enabled and to file an IND? Join us to learn from Chelsea Bahney, CEO and co-founder of UCSF spinoff Hydronovo, currently doing the work to enable an IND, and Dr. Bruce McCarthy, an expert in drug development, and formerly CEO of Afferent, acquired by Merck.
