Together the Vice Dean for Research of the School of Medicine, Associate Dean of Research of the School of Veterinary Medicine and the UC Davis Comprehensive Cancer Center announces the second round of funding for the Reaching Across the Causeway Awards. These awards are intended to incentivize collaborative science by new research teams. We are seeking bold ideas that will open new areas of investigation between the schools and have a multiplicative effect on extramural research funding in the near future. The program will provide one year of support for five multi-school (SOM/SVM) department teams to fund planning, preparation, and submission of team-based applications. At least one UCD School of Medicine department and one UCD School of Veterinary Medicine department must be represented on each proposed team. Recognizing that many of today’s most important problems are layered and complex, the inclusion of faculty from more than one department and/or colleagues in other schools and colleges is strongly encouraged. The budget should not exceed $50,000 per team. Staff and/or graduate student support is permitted as well as expenses related to eventual extramural submissions.

More details are in the Request for Applications linked below (note that there are changes from the initial call).
