How RAP Works:
- RAP is a consortium of UCSF funders
- Applicants select the grant mechanism, not the funding agency; funding agencies select the awardees
- Consideration by multiple agencies enhances funding likelihood
- RAP does not control the $$$ nor topic areas that are funded
3 Easy Steps to Apply:
- Find the grant mechanism that is the best fit for you
- Write the grant proposal for the chosen mechanism following the grant-specific instructions
- Submit your grant proposal via the RAP PORTAL

The Fall 2024 Call for Applications is now closed. Submitted proposals are out for review. Award-funding results will be announced in late December via the RAP portal email.
- Catalyst Program: for the Fall 2024 Cycle, the Catalyst program will only consider applications that are directly submitted to their mechansim - https://rap.ucsf.edu/catalyst-awards-develop-therapeutics-diagnostics-medical-devices-digital-health-and-biotools. Remember that you can submit an application to both Catalyst and any other RAP award mechanism.
