UCSF Resource Allocation Program Offers Fifth Round of Grants

The Resource Allocation Program (RAP), a major campuswide grant program at UCSF for basic, clinical and population scientists, is ready to launch its fall 2009 funding cycle.

The deadline to submit an application for this round is Monday, Sept. 21, 2009 at 6 p.m. A notice of intent is not required.

RAP, catalyzed by the Clinical and Translational Science Institute (CTSI), brings together many different intramural funding programs, including the:

Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center
AIDS Research Institute at UCSF
Helen Diller Family Comprehensive Cancer Center, Mount Zion Health Fund
UCSF Gladstone Institute of Virology & Immunology Center for AIDS Research
CTSI Strategic Opportunities Support
National Center of Excellence in Women’s Health
Research Evaluation and Allocation Committee of the School of Medicine

Under RAP, these programs now have a single application and review process. All UCSF and CTSI associated institutional faculty in any series may apply.

The newest addition to the RAP grant offerings is the CTSI Clinical Research Center Young Investigator Award.

RAP continues to move closer to becoming a “one-stop shop” for intramural funding at UCSF.

For specific information and updates regarding these funding opportunities available for pilot studies, translational technologies and novel methods, planning grants, and career development, please visit the RAP website.
