The Resource Allocation Program (RAP), an umbrella consortium of UCSF funders that coordinates multiple intramural research funding opportunities, is now accepting applications for the Spring 2024 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 the end of May 2024. See CCMBM Funding Opportunities for the RFA.
We also offer 1:1 and live panel grant review sessions to help investigators strengthen their proposals in advance of the RAP deadline. Learn more about the program here and fill out the sign up form to attend an upcoming session.

The DEM T32 program has been running for over 42 years and is dedicated to supporting training in research of clinical, translational, and basic science researchers in fields related to endocrinology. One-year training slots are available on a competitive basis to trainees proposing research in any area of endocrinology, for projects across all UCSF campuses. We have two slots that are available immediately and need to be activated by June 30, 2024. We anticipate 2 slots will be available July 1, 2024, or later.

The Grant Development Award provides funding for a junior CCMBM member to host a meeting (e.g., lunch or dinner) with 1-3 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.

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.
