Pilot for Research on Racism Impacting Black People The UCSF Office of Research has committed to the goal of anti-racism and racial equity in research. As one action for this initiative, the Office of Research has convened campus partners to create an anti-racism research pilot grant program. Funding for this initiative is provided by the Clinical and Translational Science Institute (CTSI), Academic Senate, School of Medicine’s Research Evaluation and Allocation Committee (REAC), and the Research Development Office. Community-academic partnerships are encouraged and may include local, county, or state governments, police departments, court systems, and/or high-impact nonprofits or community-based organizations.
Team Science Grant The goal of this award is to spark innovation by stimulating new collaborations between researchers from diverse fields and/or between researchers and community partners. For the purposes of this funding opportunity, ‘Team Science’ is broadly defined, including multiple scientific disciplines, and encouraging but not requiring non-traditional investigators from community-based settings as co-investigators. Non-traditional co-I’s may include stakeholders who are expected in the longer term to benefit from research outcomes, such as representatives of patient and community groups, healthcare organizations, or policy makers. This award will provide funding to facilitate cross-disciplinary research projects concerning any subject area in biomedical, population health, and health services research.
