A part of our mission to reduce disparities in preterm birth rates and improve outcomes for babies who are born too soon is realized by funding innovative projects in prematurity research. Once a year, in spring, we accept applications through the UCSF Research Allocation Program (RAP) in two categories: Pilot Award, up to $50,000 over one year, and Innovation Award, up to $150,000 over two years.
We are thrilled to announce our two Pilot Award recipients!
More information coming soon.
