Strategic Roadmap for Cores

 

The Strategic Roadmap for Cores is an initiative by UCSF to develop a comprehensive view of core strategic needs and priorities across all areas including basic, translational and clinical research. The goal is to identify areas of impact and benefit to the UCSF enterprise and assist leadership in identifying the funding sources to fulfill investment requirements and priorities.

In 2013, the entire UCSF community was invited to submit suggestions through the open proposal mechanism. A total of 77 suggestions were submitted and considered by 6 sub-committees. The steering committee considered the recommendations of each sub-committee and prioritized areas for funding.
