The UCLA Office of the Vice Chancellor for Research (OVCR) is pleased to announce two Calls for Proposals for Transdisciplinary Seed Grants to further the development of new collaborative research and scholarship across the UCLA campus.  The purpose of these grants is to catalyze new lines of research and new interdisciplinary collaborations with the potential for solving important and challenging problems that can have profound benefits for society (Deadline Feb 15). 

Webinar for faculty researchers on the differences between mission agencies (e.g., DOE, DoD, USDA, NASA, etc.) and basic research agencies such as NSF and NIH. The webinar will cover how to understand mission agencies, how to identify and approach program officers that may be interested in your research, what to ask, how to develop concept or white papers, quad charts, and full proposals. (Jan. 18)

This webinar will cover the basics of small business innovation research (SBIR) and small business technology transfer grants: who funds them, who can apply, how to write a competitive SBIR or STTR proposal, and how faculty can use these kinds of grants as part of their research funding strategies (Jan. 25).
