Description
The UCSF Center for Tuberculosis offers this mentoring and training award to early-stage investigators at UCSF or UC Berkeley. It supports a one-year, TB-focused project guided by a faculty research mentor, with the aim of developing research skills and preliminary data for a future grant effort. Awardees also enter the TB Research and Mentoring Program (TB RAMP) as they begin independent research careers.
Projects may involve bench, clinical, epidemiologic, implementation science, health economics, social behavioral, or health disparities research, including work on diagnostics, therapeutics, and vaccines. The program welcomes investigations relevant to combating TB in high-burden settings. Projects should address NIH TB research priority areas.
