The Office of Intellectual Property and the Office of Information Technology announce the Second Annual UCLA "Code for the Mission" App Competition. The goal of the competition is to encourage the UCLA community (Faculty, Staff and Students) to develop mobile apps (both native and web-based) that further UCLA's mission of Research, Education and Service. Each year we will have three contest categories that will match our three tiered mission. Registration deadline is May 29.

UC President Janet Napolitano and UC Research Initiatives are pleased to issue a Request for Proposals for the 2016 President's Research Catalyst Awards. This president's initiative aims to advance innovative research in areas of strategic importance to UC that has the potential to benefit California, the nation and the world, and to stimulate public support for UC research. Awards are made on a competitive basis for highly meritorious research that fulfills programmatic goals in the link above. LOIs are due June 4. 

Join UC colleagues, Team Science experts, and federal program directors, to

  •        Expand your capacity to conduct Team Science
  •        Enhance your research leadership skills and competencies
  •        Learn winning proposal writing techniques and strategies

 In a small group environment, the UC Team Science Retreat will promote team science competencies and leadership capacity of early-mid career faculty and post-doctoral scholars across the 10 campuses of the University of California system.  In particular, the Retreat targets established or new diverse teams, as well as women and underrepresented minorities who want to become involved in team science initiatives.  A new cohort of researchers will be selected to participate each year. Applications close June 15.

OIP-ISR hosts and co-sponsor seminars, conferences, and networking events designed to help guide UCLA inventors forming startups, protecting intellectual property, and developing collaborations with industry.

Startup UCLA seeks to develop a culture of startup thinking on campus by connecting UCLA students with LA's digital startup scene.

 

UCLA OIP-ISR wants to help you license research tools you've created to assist in conducting your research. This usually results in money going right back to your lab! See the flyer for more information.
