The Grant Development Award provides funding for a junior CCMBM member to host a meeting (e.g., lunch or dinner) with 2-3 UCSF faculty members who are outside of the trainee’s current lab to: 

1) brainstorm/solicit informal feedback on a study idea or research direction
2) learn about the latest methods and techniques used in related fields
3) identify potential collaborators
4) promote inter-disciplinary MSK research
5) expand the trainee’s professional network

Download the form and email your application to Noah Bonnheim.
Submission deadline: October 2, 2023, 2:00pm PST
The Resource Allocation Program (RAP), an umbrella consortium of UCSF funders that coordinates multiple intramural research funding opportunities, is now accepting applications for the Fall 2023 Cycle. Review the grant-specific descriptions/instructions for the grant mechanism you are applying, not the funding agency. Funding agencies will select the awardees by choosing the proposals that best fulfill their programmatic goals. Simultaneous consideration of each application by multiple funding agencies enhances funding likelihood. Funding results will be available by December 2023. See CCMBM Funding Opportunities for the RFA.

FUNDING & OTHER OPPORTUNITIES
Application Deadline: October 12, 2023 at 1:00PM PT/11:00PM IT
The Wolf Prizes in the sciences and the arts have been awarded annually since 1978 to outstanding scientists and artists for their achievements for the benefit of humanity and brotherly relations among people, regardless of nationality, race, color, religion, gender, or political views. Each prize consists of a certificate and a monetary award of $100,000. Individuals cannot nominate themselves.

To submit a colleague for consideration, complete the nomination form and email it to the prize committee at office@wolffund.org.il. Questions about the nomination process can be sent to the same email address.
Recognizing the need for collaboration of MSK scientists with experts outside of the MSK field, we are providing support to MSK Center members to host a meal for a creative and enjoyable in-person networking meeting to stimulate these interactions and to further develop new research ideas and plans to fund them. Faculty, staff, and trainees who are MSKC/CCMBM members are encouraged to apply to host an event.

If you are not a member, you may concurrently apply for membership while your Open MIKE application is being reviewed.

Download the form and email your application to Cristal Yee.
