Prevention and Treatment of Opioid Use Disorders
The Pilot for Prevention and Treatment of Opioid Use Disorders Awards are intended to support projects focused on pursuing the research on prevention and treatment of opioid use disorders; with a particular interest in ones that will generate preliminary data needed to develop clinical trials or population-based community.

Under-represented Academics
Under-Represented Faculty & Senior Fellows in Clinical and Translational Research Awards provide support to researchers from historically disenfranchised racial and ethnic groups that are under-represented in health sciences, or from economically or educationally disadvantaged backgrounds, to encourage these researchers to remain in academia for their career and thus increase the diversity of UCSF faculty.
