Reaching Across the Causeway Award
School of Veterinary Medicine and School of Medicine
Together the Associate Dean of Research of the School of Veterinary Medicine, Vice Dean for Research of the School of Medicine, the UC Davis Comprehensive Cancer Center, and the UC Davis Clinical and Translational Science Center have come together to incentivize collaborative science by new research teams that seek bold ideas and open new areas of investigation between the schools. The program will provide one year of support for six multi-school (SOM/SVM) department teams to fund planning, preparation, and submission of team-based applications.
Closed for 2025
Postdoctoral Scholar Resources
The Office of Research and Graduate Education has put together a Box folder containing important resources for postdocs at SVM including key campus contacts, recurring funding opportunities, grant writing training and more.
Corporate and Foundation Relations/Funding Opportunities
Foundation and Corporate Engagement is a central service unit that works with all campus investigators, units, schools, and departments to prepare and submit foundation or corporate grant proposals, build strategy to engage with and outreach to foundations and corporations, and relationships management support. SVM Liaison: Shari Kawelo
Limited Submissions Opportunities
Limited Submissions Office - A limited submission is a funding opportunity in which the sponsor imposes a limit on the number of applications/proposals that an institution can submit. When this happens, the Limited Submission Office promotes an internal deadline for either Expressions of Interest (EOIs) or preproposals–depending on the anticipated interest–then coordinates an internal competition to determine which project(s) will move forward to the sponsor. This process ensures that our institution only submits the allowable number of proposals to the sponsor. For questions about Limited Submissions, please contact limsubmissions@ucdavis.edu.
