Funded Collaborations with Industry</h2> <p>UCSF has unique and close relationships with many large pharmaceutical and biotech companies that are excited to fund early research at UCSF within their strategic areas of interest. On a regular or rolling basis, our partner companies ask for proposals from UCSF investigators and will fully fund a number of those projects in their key interests. (<strong><a href="https://innovation.ucsf.edu/request-proposals">Link to UCSF-specific industry funding opportunities.</a></strong>)聽UCSF works closely with many other companies not listed on this page, so please reach out to the Office of Strategic Alliances within聽Innovation Ventures with inquiries about working with industry.
