UCSF postdoctoral scholars are invited to apply for funds from a grant program made possible by support from the Program for Breakthrough Biomedical Research (PBBR). The program is designed to encourage creative and independent research driven by postdoctoral scholars in both basic and translational research. The grant will support UCSF postdocs who wish to explore biomedical research directions that are not directly linked to the research interests of their postdoctoral mentor and require the engagement of an additional collaborator or co-mentor.

Up to 14 grantswill be awarded to provide the following funding for one year (August 1, 2020 to July 31, 2021).

Note: award start date and duration may be adjusted due to our current shelter-in-place restrictions.

$15,000 research allowance for research supplies, meetings, courses, and other research expenses.
