DUE TODAY!
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

DUE TODAY!
Application Deadline: May 1, 2023 by 5:00pm PST
The MSK T32 program is seeking applications for its inaugural class of fellows who are eager to push the boundaries of MSK science, and in doing so, advance the field in fundamental ways. One-year training slots are available on a competitive basis to trainees proposing research in any area of musculoskeletal science, for projects across all UCSF campuses.
Applications may be submitted by email to Aaron Fields no later than 5:00 p.m. PST, on May 1, 2023. Early submission is encouraged. Awardees will be notified in mid-May 2023, and must start their fellowship before May 31, 2023.

Learn more about ARPA-H on campus on May 1st!
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.
