Funding Innovation

From revolutionary treatments to groundbreaking drugs, cutting-edge research breakthroughs require funding. Motivated by a passion for improving human health, faculty members at the DGSOM drive their own research projects and secure their own research funding in the form of grants, contracts, and philanthropic contributions.

Grants and Contracts

Grants and contracts generally require applications, which individual faculty or teams may submit to federal or local government agencies (such as the National Institutes of Health), public or private foundations, or biotechnology/pharmaceutical companies.

The National Institutes of Health provides the largest fraction of the DGSOM’s research support.

Consortia

Faculty can also participate in large consortia, such as clinical trials consortia sponsored by pharmaceutical companies. By bringing together like-minded individuals, organizations, and companies, consortia enable their members to leverage shared resources to reach goals not easily achieved individually.

 

Philanthropic Support

Individual faculty and teams of faculty may secure philanthropic support. Philanthropic funding enables scientists to pursue their most exciting ideas without the constraints created by government or corporate interests.

 

Government Agencies and Foundations

Student researchers (Ph.D. students, postdoctoral scholars, etc.) can receive training support from government agencies and foundations.

 

Institutional Support

The DGSOM supports the work of faculty members and laboratories and advances the overall research mission by offering institutional support through the UCLA Chancellor’s office, the DGSOM Dean’s office, the Basic and Clinical Departments, Centers, Institutes, and Research Themes.

EXPLORE DGSOM DEPARTMENTS

Institutional contributions to the research enterprise include:

  • Recruiting and retaining stellar groups of faculty, trainees, and staff
  • Providing and maintaining high-quality research spaces, facilities, and administrative support services
  • Supporting interactions, collaborations, and scientific exchange through interdisciplinary activities and teams, such as the Research Themes, Centers, and Institutes
  • Fostering the implementation of a large Precision Health initiative to transform medicine through quantitative, comprehensive understanding of the genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors that cause disease
  • Helping fund the acquisition of state-of-the-art equipment
  • Establishing shared resource facilities that make equipment and expertise broadly available
  • Offering seed funding to catalyze new, bold research endeavors
  • Defining and protecting intellectual property
  • Facilitating the licensing and commercialization of research discoveries
