Awards Given on a Rolling Basis - Apply Today!
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

The goal for this series is to promote interactions across programs and disciplines, bringing trainees and faculty together in the shared endeavor of refining our research. Planned quarterly, PITRAMI events involve 15-20 trainees giving 10 minute talks about the progress of their research. Speakers are postdocs, graduate students, and staff members, who come forward on a voluntary basis to present their research projects. In order to showcase a broad range of topics, PITRAMI includes the contributions of multiple different Parnassus research groups. PITRAMI’s conclude with a social hour to promote networking and collaboration across the Parnassus campus.

We know that writing can be challenging for scientists, especially when you’re writing something non-scientific. But we also know there are certain things that every scientist needs to write at some point – like a personal bio, a cover letter or résumé, a conference proposal, or a teaching statement. Writing in community, rather than in isolation, can help make this process a little less painful – and maybe even a bit fun. That’s why we hope you’ll bring your friends to this writing retreat.

UCSF postdoctoral scholars are invited to apply for funds from a grant program made possible by support from the Program for Breakthrough Biomedical Research (PBBR). The program is designed to encourage creative and independent research driven by postdoctoral scholars in both basic and translational research. The grant will support UCSF postdocs who wish to explore biomedical research directions that are not directly linked to the research interests postdoctoral mentor and require the engagement of an additional collaborator or co-mentor.
Up to 14 grants will be awarded to provide the following funding for one year (August 2024 to August 2025): $15,000 research allowance for research supplies, meetings, courses, and other research expenses.

The Pilot Award Program is a new component of our NIH-supported U42 program the Human Tissues and Organs for Research Resource (HTORR), and will support individuals that meet at least one of the following three high priority areas:
- Individuals from underrepresented populations in the U.S. biomedical workforce, including women, minorities, persons with disabilities and persons from disadvantaged backgrounds.
- Early-stage investigators that are within 10 years of a terminal degree or completion of clinical residency.
- Established investigators that are transitioning to use human biospecimens.
The 2-year awards provided through our Pilot Award Program will include up to ~10 biological samples per awarded investigator, covering all costs associated with obtaining the biospecimens, including tissue preservation reagents and shipping costs. Beyond the service period and experimental analysis phase, the awardee will also receive supplementary support to develop grant applications to the NIH Institute that supported their award, and only applications that fall into the fields covered by these institutes will be reviewed.
The institutions currently supporting the Pilot Award Program are:
- Office of Research Infrastructure Programs (ORIP)
- National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID)
- National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI)
- National Eye Institute (NEI)
- National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK)
- National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS)

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.
