The Team Science Grant at UCSF is designed to catalyze innovative research by fostering new, cross-disciplinary collaborations among investigators from diverse scientific backgrounds, including, where appropriate, community partners. The program broadly defines "Team Science" to encourage projects that span biomedical, population health, and health services research. The goal is to support teams of at least two principal investigators (PIs)—who have not previously worked together—to generate novel research findings through the integration of multiple scientific perspectives. Projects should aim to produce preliminary data and outcomes that position the team for future extramural funding and impactful research results.
