New Application Deadline: May 1, 2023
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
|
|
Application Deadline: April 25, 2023
Maximum Award Amount: $7,500
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 translational in nature within the musculoskeletal field. The goal of this grant mechanism is to encourage utilization of the many cutting-edge technologies or services now available through the CCMBM cores. There are three core facilities: 1) Epidemiology, Biostatistics and Study Design, 2) Imaging, and 3) Skeletal Biology and Biomechanics. Priority will be placed on proposals requesting T/T funds to add the use of a new technology/core service to an existing or recently-proposed project. Proposals requesting funds to support new project ideas should, instead, apply to the CCMBM Pilot and Feasibility Grant Program that will open September 2023.
Submit your application by April 25, 2023. Awardees will be notified by early May 2023.
Program guidelines can be found on online here. |

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.

CAREER & PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT EVENTS FOR TRAINEES
(STUDENTS, POSTDOCS, RESIDENTS, FELLOWS)
|
|
April 14, 10:30am-12:30pm; Mission Bay, Rock Hall Auditorium
Nonscientists often see science as impenetrable and scientists as unsociable introverts hiding in labs. In turn, researchers wonder how they could possibly explain their work in a clear yet scientifically correct way to people outside their own field. This talk explores the challenges of communicating science to nonscientists (and, to a point, to fellow scientists as well) and proposes strategies that help overcome these challenges.
Hosted by Office of Career and Professional Development

PBBR invites proposals for funding in two award categories:
NFR - New Frontier Research
TMC - Technologies, Methodologies & Cores
PBBR seeks to stimulate and support highly innovative basic science research at UCSF. The focus is on basic science projects of potentially high impact that are creative, risky, and transformative. They seek novel ideas for basic science projects that go beyond those that receive funding from NIH and other traditional funding mechanisms.

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. |

The FY23 Defense Appropriations Act is anticipated to provide funding for the JWMRP to augment and accelerate progress toward critical Department of Defense (DOD) medical capability gaps and requirements through the continuation of research and development initiatives that were previously supported by DOD core and/or DOD congressionally directed funding and that are close to achieving their objectives and yielding a benefit to military medicine. Funds shall be awarded following a review of military medical research and development gaps, as well as unfinanced medical requirements of the Services. The managing agent for the anticipated funding opportunities is the CDMRP at the U.S. Army Medical Research and Development Command (USAMRDC).
Pre-application and application deadlines are forthcoming. Learn more here.
