DUE FRIDAY!
Submission deadline: Friday, February 9, 2024, by 5:00 PM PST
CCMBM is pleased to announce the CCMBM Spring 2024 Junior Investigator Travel Award, which is intended to support the travel of trainees to develop expertise, network, or acquire skills in a field at a scientific conference that the applicants may otherwise be unable to attend. The award is particularly designed to encourage travel to a conference where the trainee may not be presenting an abstract, but where interactions with other attendees and participation in conference activities can serve as a springboard for trainees to transition to the next stages in their scientific careers.

Submission deadline: Monday, March 4, 2024, by 2:00 PM PST
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.
|
|
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 CCMBM would like to help investigators strengthen their grant proposals in advance of any upcoming NIH deadlines. We invite CCMBM members to participate in the Grants Review program to receive 1:1 feedback and/or live panel review with peers as well as coaching from experienced investigators. If you are not a member, you may concurrently join during your grants review period.

February 12, 12:00-1:30pm; Mission Bay, HD-160
Once you have a career path in mind, it's a great idea to find a way to get some experience. Options for this experience (we call it "experiential learning") range from part-time projects, to formal full-time internships. Deciding which is the right fit for you will depend on two things: your goals (what are you hoping to learn? with whom are you hoping to connect? what kind of skills do you want to practice?) and your parameters (do you need to be in a certain location? how much time do you have available? are there visa considerations that apply?). We'll help you sort through these various considerations, and map out a plan for how to proceed.

The Transformative Research to Address Health Disparities and Advance Health Equity initiative is soliciting applications to support unusually innovative intervention research addressing social determinants of health (SDOH) which, if successful, would have a major impact on preventing, reducing, or eliminating health disparities and advancing health equity. Projects should clearly demonstrate, based on the strength of the logic, a compelling potential to produce a major impact on advancing NIH’s commitment to addressing SDOH to accelerate progress in improving health for all. Preliminary data are not required for this initiative.
