The TB Research Boost Award program provides small grants with a rapid turnaround to support individuals within the UC TRAC (UCSF and UC Berkeley) TB research community. Funding for the TB Research Boost Award is provided by an Administrative Supplement to Recognize Excellence in Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility (DEIA) Mentorship to TB RAMP. This program provides reimbursement of direct purchases of $5,000 per award and encourages investigators who are underrepresented in health sciences, or who have overcome systemic barriers to apply. Four TB Research Boost Awards are available in the Spring 2023.

Early, mid, and established career investigators engaged in TB research are eligible to apply.
