Learn More SOM National Institutes of Health Resubmission Program Designed in part in response to a recent report from NIH on funded resubmission applications, and loosely patterned after the highly successful UCI NIH Boot Camp, this opportunity provides in-depth and organized support for proposal writing and revisions, pre-review and other resources within a small team structure to facilitate the preparation of competitive –A1 or restructured –A0 applications. Learn More SOM Physician Scientist Training Program The UCI-SOM Physician Scientist Training Program is a 2-year structured pilot program providing physician scientists with intensive mentorship and opportunities to apply for their first independent, federally funded awards (K08, K23) or other equivalent external career development awards. Learn More Cancer Clinical Trial Bootcamp The Cancer Clinical Trial Bootcamp is a 16-week program that guides clinical faculty and fellows in designing and writing investigator-initiated cancer clinical trial protocols. Participants meet every other Wednesday for eight 2-hour sessions led by CFCCC investigators. Each session includes a 45-minute didactic lecture followed by 1-hour of “at elbow” mentorship focused on the participant’s protocol development. LEARN MORE Mentorship, Education and Training (MET) Program The CFCCC MET program is a year-long mentoring program designed to engage the expertise of senior CFCCC members with the goal of supporting junior and mid-career CFCCC faculty (basic, clinical, and population science) and to catalyze strategies for overcoming career and scientific challenges. Learn More American Cancer Society Institutional Research Grant The purpose of these research grants is to provide seed money for eligible faculty in the area of cancer research. Research in both basic and clinical cancer –related problems will be supported. It is expected that this seed money will allow for the development of nationally competitive proposals for peer-reviewed funding. Investigators within the first SIX years of their first independent faculty position and in the following series are eligible: In Line, In Residence, Adjunct, Clinical-X, Clinical and Researcher. Learn More UCI School of Medicine’s Intramural Bridge Funding To sustain research projects that have lost extramural funding, the Intramural Bridge Funding program provides one-time support to eligible principal investigators (PI) to assist with re-establishing external funding. Bridge support is intended only for those PIs who have experienced a significant reduction from extramural sources. A funding reduction or shortfall is insufficient by itself to establish eligibility. A primary objective of the Bridge Funding program is to keep experienced research teams together while funding is re-established. Applications are considered four times per year. They must be received by 5:00 p.m. on the first of November, February, April, or August. If the first day of the month falls on a weekend or holiday, applications will be accepted on the next business day. Bridge Funding Continued Medical Education The mission of the School of Medicine's Office of Continuing Medical Education (CME) is to provide educational activities to physicians and other healthcare professionals that improve the quality of healthcare by participants in our programs.
