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 Junior Scientist Seminar is a monthly seminar series and networking event exclusively for early-career researchers (pre-doctoral school). The ability to clearly explain or present your research in an interesting and engaging way is a highly valued and critical skill that requires practice. Another important skill to develop is the ability (and confidence) to ask insightful and meaningful questions when others are presenting their work. Our mission is to provide a career development and training opportunity for Junior Scientists to gain experience presenting scientific research in a supportive environment. Each month, 3–4 volunteers give a 10–12-minute presentation, followed by questions and a reception. The presentations can be on current research, research plans or a research paper of interest.
