Our mission: accelerating scientific discovery through expert research development, education, and grant support

The School of Medicine Office of Research Grants Facilitation unit offers high-quality support to UC Davis School of Medicine investigators throughout their academic careers. We provide one-on-one consultations, organize strategic initiatives, critically review proposals, offer educational classes and seminars and connect researchers across disciplines.
We assist investigators across the research career spectrum with proposals to numerous sponsors to develop and strengthen research programs within the School of Medicine. We specialize in NIH mechanisms, including fellowship (F) awards for predoctoral and postdoctoral scholars, career development (K) awards for early-stage investigators, R-series awards for early stage or established investigators, institutional training grants, and center grants (P or U series) for multi-investigator teams.
We provide mentorship as well as both formal and informal instruction to various programs, departments, classes, and clubs on effective proposal writing.
