Due Dates (Anticipated): March 2027 (Full application deadline, projected; Spring cycle)
Funding Amounts: $75,000 per project; one-year duration; direct costs only
Summary: Supports new, cross-disciplinary research collaborations in biomedical, population health, and health services research at UCSF.
Key Information: For UCSF faculty teams (2–4 PIs) who have not previously collaborated; Spring cycle only.
Description
The Team Science Grant at UCSF is designed to foster innovative, cross-disciplinary research by supporting new collaborations among investigators from diverse scientific disciplines and, optionally, community partners. Projects must bring together teams of UCSF faculty who have not previously worked together (i.e., no prior shared grants or co-authored publications). The grant aims to stimulate research in biomedical, population health, and health services by encouraging the inclusion of non-traditional co-investigators, such as representatives from patient groups or community organizations, to enhance the relevance and impact of the research.
Proposals are evaluated based on the strength and breadth of the scientific disciplines represented, the qualifications of the team, the novelty and feasibility of the proposed research, and the likelihood of generating findings that could lead to future extramural funding. All PIs share equal responsibility for the project.
