Support During Financial Crisis
UCSF leaders are working tirelessly to help support our research community during this time of federal grant terminations and delays. This document has the most up-to-date information, including ways UCSF can support you. This support is available to all, and the document will be updated monthly.
ARCHES Grant-Writing Consultation Service
The ARCHES Program is funding a grant writing consultation service for researchers. This service will provide group and one-on-one follow-up meetings with an experienced grant writer to help ensure their research aligns with federal policy. Faculty eligible for this support include:
- Associate and Full Professors with terminated and/or at-risk grants.
- Assistant Professors with at-risk grants.
To register your interest for this consultation service, please fill out this Qualtrics survey.
Research Resilience Initiative (RRI)
The Office of Research is excited to launch the Research Resilience Initiative (RRI). Led by the office of the Associate Vice Chancellor for Research Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, and Anti-Discrimination (AVCR-IDEA), RRI aims to assist researchers affected by federal policy changes in obtaining new funding.
RRI will provide the following support:
- Monthly seminars for early-career researchers to discuss research funding opportunities and approaches, and to build community and social support.
- Seminars on obtaining grants from non-NIH and non-federal funders.
- Grant writing and consultation service.
RRI also provides a mini-grant program (funded by the EVCP through philanthropy) to help at-risk, early-career researchers prepare new grant proposals. These awards will be utilized for professional grant-writing support or activities that will help support a new grant application (e.g., generating preliminary data, completing analyses). Funds cannot be used for faculty salary support. Visit the website to learn more.
