"Without my CCMBM Junior Investigator Research Grant, I would not have been able to generate the preliminary data and research experience which paved the way for my career development grant application and enabled me to start establishing my research independence."
-- Karin Wu, MD, Assistant Professor of Medicine, Division of Endocrinology and Metabolism, UCSF

The EBSD Core leverages services available at UCSF through CTSI Consultation Services. All UCSF investigators get one free hour per service (e.g., Biostatistics & Machine Learning, Study Design & Implementation, Data Management) for each of their projects. For CCMBM members, the EBSD Core will fund an additional 6 hours with a Masters-level staff consultant or 3 hours with a faculty consultant.
For more information, please contact EBSD Core Program Manager Lucy Wu.

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

This team-based day-long simulation will teach participants the process and challenges of bringing a new chemical entity from the idea stage all the way to review by the FDA. Participants are broken into teams and assigned a specific role, serving as the expert in a particular component of the process. The team will work through the simulation together with the objective of obtaining approval for the best new oncology drug by the end of the program. Teams will win or lose the competition based on the value of their approved drug compared to that achieved by the other teams. In addition, teams will also be judged for the pipeline they create.

Data obtained from the web or other outside sources is often messy and difficult to manage. Pandas, a popular tabular data frame library in Python, and SQL, a structured query language for databases, provide two different but effective tools for getting a better handle on your data. This workshop is designed to introduce you to both tools in the context of managing research data, demonstrate the strengths of each approach, and review how the two approaches can be particularly effective when used in combination.
This workshop will involve lots of hands on coding wtih JSON and Python and requires familiarity with core Python.

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) Loan Repayment Programs (LRPs) are a set of programs established by Congress and designed to recruit and retain highly qualified health professionals into biomedical or biobehavioral research careers. These programs may repay up to $100,000 of qualified student loan debt for a 2-year award to those committed to a career in biomedical research. The goal of these incredible and potentially life-changing programs is to recruit and retain highly qualified health professionals in research careers by lessening the burden of student loans.
About 50 percent of LRP applications are funded each year and the mean award is $57,582. Many researchers have had all their student loan debt repaid by the NIH LRPs (over several awards).

The Human Performance Center serves primarily as a research facility, partnering with other research labs, scientists, and companies around UCSF, and the entire Bay Area, to carry out studies in the areas of biomechanics, exercise physiology, and sleep & athletic performance.
This grant will provide “seed” opportunities for faculty, researchers, and trainees that have research needs involving biomechanics and/or exercise testing of which the HPC can provide and might lead to future funding. Proposals with novel ideas as well as proposals that are an add-on to a current research study will be considered if the goal is to acquire pilot data for possible future funding.
The maximal amount of funds available for this fiscal year is $5,000 in HPC Services.
