Some grant programs limit the number of applications
that may be submitted for consideration and require prior review
by UCSF.
Campus review of applications is coordinated by
the Office of Research and begins with:
- An email announcement
is sent to Department Chairs and Management Services Officers;
- The announcement contains information such as:
- UCSF deadline
(which leads to the campus review)
- Requirements for the campus
review (e.g., CV, research proposal, abstract)
- Agency deadline
- A selection committee is carefully
selected and the committee reviews, ranks and recommends
which applicant(s) should
be nominated to compete at the national level.

opting to limit the number of applications they receive and
review. As a result, more funding opportunities
