The University of California Research Initiatives (UCRI) is pleased to announce a research funding opportunity for UC multicampus collaborations. UC Multicampus Research Programs and Initiatives (MRPIs) are multicampus or systemwide research collaborations that go beyond individual Principal Investigator (PI)-driven projects to benefit the UC research enterprise; strengthen UC’s position as a leading public research university; launch pioneering research in thematic, multidisciplinary, or interdisciplinary areas; enhance education and training; inform policy; and benefit California and its people. The competition is open to all fields of research and scholarship. Applicants will be asked to indicate which disciplines or interdisciplinary or thematic areas best describe the proposed collaboration. Proposals must be submitted by UC PIs. The award start date is January 1, 2023.
The Letters of Intent (LOI) is due by Thursday, May 12, 2022 at 12:00 noon Pacific Time. Instructions for submission are available in the Request for Proposals, and you may access SmartSimple (https://ucop.smartsimple.com) to submit the LOI.
