RAP Spring 2025 Cycle RFA
Submission deadline: March 3, 2025, 2:00pm 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 2025 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.
Grant Review sessions are available to allow investigators to strengthen their proposals for this cycle. Individuals will who sign up will receive 1:1 feedback and/or live panel review with peers as well as coaching from experienced investigators. The following dates are still available:
Thursday, February 6th, 8:30 am - Radiology
Tuesday, February 11th, 10:00 am - SFVAMC Endocrine Unit
Friday, February 14th, 10:00 am - CCMBM Bone Investigator Group
RAP is also offering two Q&A sessions for potential applicants:
Wednesday, February 5th, 12:00-1:00 pm via Zoom
Wednesday, February 12th, 1:00-2:00 pm via Zoom
| |
|
To have your proposal reviewed, please fill out our sign up form. Please apply ASAP to ensure that the committee has time to review your proposal prior to the session date.
Funding results will be available by May 2025. See MSK Center Funding Opportunities for the RFA.

Junior Investigator Grant Development Awards
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.
Apply via the online application form today! Contact Noah Bonnheim for questions on this funding opportunity.

Introduction to RNA-Seq Analysis
Gene expression is central to cell biology. Disease pathways often involve changes in the expression levels of at least some genes. RNA-seq has become one of the most popular experimental methods to quantify gene expression levels. This 2-day, hands-on workshop will provide an introduction to a typical bulk RNA-seq protocol and focus on the data analysis steps for recovering actionable insights.

Introduction to Statistics, Experimental Design and Hypothesis Testing
Why do we perform experiments? What conclusions would we like to be able to draw from these experiments? Who are we trying to convince? How does the “magic” of statistics help us reach conclusions? This workshop, held in two sessions, will in part attempt to answer some of these questions. It’s open to anyone interested in learning more about the basics of statistics, experimental design, and the fundamentals of hypothesis testing.
