Description
UCSF’s Team Science Grant, administered through the Resource Allocation Program (RAP), aims to spark innovation through new collaborations between researchers from diverse fields and/or between researchers and community partners. It supports cross-disciplinary projects in any area of biomedical, population health, and health services research. Scientific discipline diversity is required, while community-based co-investigators are encouraged but not required.
The Academic Senate and REAC encourage projects across all scientific areas. The program emphasizes the breadth of disciplines represented, strong science, qualified team members, and the value of a new collaboration in generating novel findings. Teams should define each member’s contribution, identify concrete deliverables, and explain how the pilot project could lead to extramural funding for a new multidisciplinary project.
