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; funding is limited so a good score is not a guarantee for funding
- In accordance with Federal and State law and University policy, the University of California does not discriminate on the basis of age, gender, race, ethnicity, national origin, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, health, or disability. For detailed information, please visit the Office for the Prevention of Harassment and Discrimination.
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
