Workshop Overview: You never know who you will meet on a plane, at a conference, or in an elevator. At any moment you should be able to explain your mission statement, research goals or entrepreneurial ideas in a short yet captivating way. This interactive workshop teaches you to clearly articulate your passions so you can take advantage of every opportunity that comes your way.  

Join us to learn about the NIH K99/R00 Pathway to Independence Award application process, learn about grant writing support and resources at UCSF, and participate in an open discussion with recent NIAID K99/R00 recipients.

The Benioff Center for Microbiome Medicine is proud to announce we have installed B.SIGHT, a new instrument for high-throughput microbial single-cell sorting, culturing and functional screening in the Culturing Facility. B.SIGHT is a fully automated microbial single-cell sorter and dispenser that leverages cutting-edge microfluidics and imaging technologies to isolate individual bacterial or fungal cells from suspension samples via brightfield or green fluorescence detection.

• Advancing microbiome research using culture-dependent techniques • Innovations in microbial isolation and screening • BCMM Microbial Culturing Facility • Sample projects • Breakout sessions • i) Office hour for UCSF investigators • ii) Career and research opportunities at BCMM for SFSU students

This workshop will combine a lecture, peer review, and discussion to demystify the NIH application process. This training will prepare participants to submit an NIH grant proposal that turns reviewers into advocates, positioning the applicant for success. The event is limited to BCMM members at all career stages. Attendees are strongly encouraged to bring a drafted Specific Aims page for a proposed microbiome project for review and group feedback.
