UCSF CCMBM Core Services Newsletter - June 2023
“My research group is working on a study of fracture risk after bariatric surgery among veterans using national VA data. This data is an extremely valuable resource, but it is hard to tap into, and it has historically gone underutilized by UCSF's MSK researchers. My team members utilized EBSD Core Discounts to help subsidize several hours of consulting costs from CTSI's VA Data Core. We've been working on this project for literally a decade, and thanks to the CCMBM's core discounts we are finally completing it!"
 
-- Anne Schafer, MD, Professor, Department of Medicine, and Co-Director of the CCMBM EBSD Core

Starting in January of 2023, NIH will be implementing a new Data Management and Sharing Policy. This policy will require all NIH researchers to prospectively plan for how their scientific data will be preserved and shared through submission of a Data Management and Sharing Plan. This session will give an overview of data management plans (DMPs), dive deep into the new NIH requirements, and share local resources and tools to help you work reproducible data sharing into your research workflow.
Hosted by the UCSF Library

The Bay Area Open Science Group is intended to bring together students, faculty, and staff from the Stanford, UCSF, and Berkeley community to learn about open science, discuss the application of open science practices in a research context, and meet other members of the community who are interested in (or already are) incorporating open science practices into their work.
Hosted by the UCSF Library
FUNDING OPPORTUNITIES
The first Open ARPA-H Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) has been announced and is accepting innovative high-impact biomedical and health research proposals. The BAA seeks funding proposals for research aiming to improve health outcomes across patient populations, communities, diseases, and health conditions. Proposals should investigate unconventional approaches, and challenge accepted assumptions to enable leaps forward in science, technology, systems, or related capabilities. ARPA-H also encourages concepts to advance the objectives of President Biden’s Cancer Moonshot, as well as more disease-agnostic approaches. View the Open BAA here.

Prior to submitting an abstract, proposers are strongly encouraged to contact the ARPA-H BAA technical point of contact for their research topic/subtopic of interest. Abstracts must be submitted electronically to https://ecps.nih.gov.

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. 

Download the form and email your application to Cristal Yee.
