Contracts and Grants

Application and Award Process

The following departments will assist you with the specific categories of grants and contracts:

Research Management Services: Primarily grants from federal and non-profit sponsors, UC Program, and incoming subcontracts from other institutions: contact Sandra Salazar, at [email protected] or 415-518-9714.

UCSF Fresno Clinical Research Center:  For-profit companies/industry sponsored clinical trials (pharmaceutical or device), please contact Rebekah Garcia at at [email protected] or or 559-499-6636.

UCSF Government and Business Contracts:  Contracts with federal, state, local agencies (school districts or government bodies) and international sponsors, contact: Olive Giovannetti at [email protected]

Each department listed above will guide you through the award process for your project.  Terms and conditions of the grant or contract must be negotiated and signed by an officer of the university (including Confidentiality Disclosure Agreements); the faculty member may be asked to sign as a party to the contract.  The contract is between The Regents of the University of California San Francisco and the sponsor.  “Fresno” is a department of the UCSF School of Medicine and not a legal entity. All contracts and grants that have human subjects involvement must have IRB approval prior to award execution; the principal investigator and co-investigators must provide information to the UCSF Conflict of Interest office.
