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.

The UCLA Clinical and Translational Science Institute (CTSI) will be holding an all-day workshop for junior investigators who have applied, are applying, or thinking about applying for a NIH K/Career Development Award. The UCLA CTSI Research, Education, Training, and Career Development Program is offering this special opportunity to junior faculty at CTSI partnered institutions (Cedars-Sinai, CDU, LA Biomed Harbor-UCLA, and UCLA) to learn how to prepare successful K applications. Register here. Workshop takes place July 9.

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.
