11 highly specialized standing review committees and draws from a large pool of UCSF faculty reviewers. We aim to match reviewer expertise with each proposal to provide a fair, rigorous, and transparent peer-reviewed process that will encourage and stimulate research.</p> <p>The review committees are organized by subject area. Proposals are reviewed by two faculty with expertise in a closely related field and discussed by the entire review panel. Proposals are scored according to the criteria listed in the descriptions for each mechanism following the NIH 1-9 scoring system. Applications that receive initial scores of 4 and 5 or higher (using NIH 1-9 scoring system) from both reviewers (A and B) can be "triaged" (not discussed) if the committee agrees.</p> <p>At the end of each competition cycle, Principal Investigators (PI1) receive written reviews and final scores. Triaged proposals (not discussed) only receive the review comments. </p> <h5><strong>RAP SCORING SYSTEM</strong></h5> <table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="MsoNormalTable"> <tbody> <tr> <td> <p align="center" class="Default"><strong>Impact</strong></p> </td> <td> <p align="center" class="Default"><strong>Score</strong></p> </td> <td> <p align="center" class="Default"><strong>Descriptor</strong></p> </td> <td> <p align="center" class="Default"><strong>Additional Guidance on Strengths/Weaknesses</strong></p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> <p><strong> </strong></p> </td> <td> <p align="center" class="Default"><strong>1</strong></p> </td> <td> <p align="center" class="Default">Exceptional</p> </td> <td> <p align="center" class="Default">Exceptionally strong with essentially no weaknesses</p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> <p align="center" class="Default"><strong>High</strong></p> </td> <td> <p align="center" class="Default"><strong>2</strong></p> </td> <td> <p align="center" class="Default">Outstanding</p> </td> <td> <p align="center" class="Default">Extremely strong with negligible weaknesses</p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> <p><strong> </strong></p> </td> <td> <p align="center" class="Default"><strong>3</strong></p> </td> <td> <p align="center" class="Default">Excellent</p> </td> <td> <p align="center" class="Default">Very strong with only some minor weaknesses</p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> <p><strong> </strong></p> </td> <td> <p align="center" class="Default"><strong>4</strong></p> </td> <td> <p align="center" class="Default">Very Good</p> </td> <td> <p align="center" class="Default">Strong but with numerous minor weaknesses</p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> <p align="center" class="Default"><strong>Medium</strong></p> </td> <td> <p align="center" class="Default"><strong>5</strong></p> </td> <td> <p align="center" class="Default">Good</p> </td> <td> <p align="center" class="Default">Strong but with at least one moderate weaknesses</p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> <p><strong> </strong></p> </td> <td> <p align="center" class="Default"><strong>6</strong></p> </td> <td> <p align="center" class="Default">Satisfactory</p> </td> <td> <p align="center" class="Default">Some strengths but also some moderate weaknesses</p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> <p><strong> </strong></p> </td> <td> <p align="center" class="Default"><strong>7</strong></p> </td> <td> <p align="center" class="Default">Fair</p> </td> <td> <p align="center" class="Default">Some strengths but with at least one major weakness</p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> <p align="center" class="Default"><strong>Low</strong></p> </td> <td> <p align="center" class="Default"><strong>8</strong></p> </td> <td> <p align="center" class="Default">Marginal</p> </td> <td> <p align="center" class="Default">A few strengths and a few major weaknesses</p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> <p><strong> </strong></p> </td> <td> <p align="center" class="Default"><strong>9</strong></p> </td> <td> <p align="center" class="Default">Poor</p> </td> <td> <p align="center" class="Default">Very few strengths and numerous major weaknesses</p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="4"> <p class="Default"><strong>Minor Weakness:</strong> An easily addressable weakness that does not substantially lessen impact</p> <p class="Default"><strong>Moderate Weakness:</strong> A weakness that lessens impact</p> <p class="Default"><strong>Major Weakness:</strong> A weakness that severely limits impact</p> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <p>Applicants select the review committee they deem most appropriate; RAP reserves the right to reassign application to a different review committee.<br /> <br /> <strong>Resubmissions</strong> are always re-assigned to the committee that performed the initial review.<br /> <br /> The <strong>Career Development Review Committee</strong> <u>only</u> reviews the following grant mechanisms: </p> <ul style="margin-left: 40px;"> <li>Family Support Award</li> <li>Hardship Awards</li> <li>Under-represented Faculty & Senior Fellows in Clinical and Translational Research Awards</li> </ul> <p><strong>Independent Review </strong><br /> Proposals submitted to the following grant mechanisms are <em>not included in the RAP review</em>;

Studies encompassing genetics and genetic epidemiology are also included.</p> <p><strong>Neurosciences</strong><br /> <em><a href="https://profiles.ucsf.edu/stephen.massa">Stephen Massa</a>, Chair </em><br /> The Neurosciences Committee reviews a broad group of applications that range from human clinical and behavioral studies, to disease-related laboratory-based studies, to more fundamental neuroscience.</p> <p><strong>Technology</strong><br /> <em><a href="http://profiles.ucsf.edu/roland.henry" target="_blank">Roland Henry</a>, Chair </em><br /> The Technology Committee reviews proposals for shared equipment and technology development. The Shared Equipment proposals usually request funding for larger pieces of equipment that can be used in multiple research projects by multiple PI’s. Although encouraged to place such equipment in core facilities, this is not an absolute requirement. Technology development proposals are directed towards development of equipment or applications that are technology based.</p> </div></div></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div id="sidebar" class="column"> <div class="sidebar_top"> <div class="region region-sidebar-top"> <div id="block-menu-block-2" class="block block-menu-block"> <h3><a href="/about" class="active-trail">About</a></h3> <div class="content"> <div class="menu-block-wrapper menu-block-2 menu-name-main-menu parent-mlid-0 menu-level-2"> <ul class="menu"><li class="first leaf menu-mlid-3646"><a href="/leadership_view" title="">Leadership</a></li> <li class="leaf menu-mlid-2661"><a href="/people_bio" title="">People</a></li> <li class="leaf menu-mlid-2046"><a href="/funding-agencies">Funding Agencies</a></li> <li class="leaf menu-mlid-3651"><a href="/disseminationsubmission-process">Dissemination/Submission Process</a></li> <li class="leaf active-trail active menu-mlid-2051"><a href="/review-process" class="active-trail active">Review Process</a></li> <li class="leaf menu-mlid-3656"><a href="/award-process">Award Process</a></li> <li class="leaf menu-mlid-2056"><a href="/why-rap-rap-manuscript">Why RAP</a></li> <li class="last leaf menu-mlid-2546"><a href="/contact-us">Contact</a></li> </ul></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="sidebar"> <div class="section"> <div class="region region-sidebar"> <div id="block-block-6" class="block block-block callout-box"> <h3>Quicklinks</h3> <div class="content"> <div align="center"> <p style="text-align: left;"><a class="btn--small btn--blue" href="https://rap.ucsf.edu/eligibility-compare-grants" target="_blank">ELIGIBILITY & COMPARE GRANTS </a></p> <p style="text-align: left;"> </p> <p style="text-align: left;"><a class="btn--small btn--blue" href="https://rapapp.ucsf.edu/">Resource Allocation Portal</a> </p> <p style="text-align: left;"><a class="btn--small btn--blue" href="https://rdo.ucsf.edu/">Research Development Office Website</a></p> </div> </div> </div> <div id="block-block-16" class="block block-block"> <h3>Grant Deadlines</h3> <div class="content"> <p><u><strong>SPRING 2024 CYCLE</strong></u></p> <p><strong>Funding Results: </strong>now available via your portal acct.</p> <p><br /> <u><strong>FALL 2024 CYCLE</strong></u></p> <p><strong>Call Opens: </strong>Thurs., <strong>August 29, 2024</strong></p> <p><br /> <strong>Deadline:</strong> Mon. <strong>September 30, 2024</strong><br /> (2:00 pm PST)<br /> <br /> <strong>Funding Results: </strong>available before end of December, 2024</p> <p><br /> <br /> <strong><u>TWO CYCLES PER YEAR</u></strong><br /> <br /> SPRING Deadline: February/March <br /> <br /> FALL Deadline: September/October </p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div></div> <div id="footer"> <div class="section"> <div class="region region-footer"> <div id="block-block-11" class="block block-block footer-contact-us"> <div class="content"> <p><strong>Resource Allocation Program</strong></p> <p> </p> <div class="wysiwyg_twocols layout--40-60"> <div class="wysiwyg_twocols--first bg--transparent"> <p>600 16th Street, Suite 116, San Francisco, CA 94143<br /> <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#7200130232071101145c171607"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="c2b0a3b282b7a1b1a4eca7a6b7">[email protected]</span></a></p> </div> <div class="wysiwyg_twocols--second bg--transparent"> <p><b>Phone:</b> 415-502-1674<br /> <b>Fax:</b> 415-502-1675</p> </div> </div> <p> </p> </div> </div> </div> <div class="footer-bottom"> <nav aria-label="Footer Navigation" class="footer--navigation"> <ul> <li><a href="rap.ucsf.edu/contact-us">Contact Us</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.ucsf.edu/accessibility-resources">Accessibility</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.ucsf.edu/website-privacy-policy">Privacy Policy</a></li> <li><a href="https://websites.ucsf.edu/website-terms-use">Terms of Use </a></li> <li><a href="https://websites.ucsf.edu/azlist">A-Z Website List</a></li> </ul> </nav> <div class="footer--copyright"> <p>© 2024 The Regents of the University of California</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <script data-cfasync="false" src="/cdn-cgi/scripts/5c5dd728/cloudflare-static/email-decode.min.js"></script><script type="text/javascript"> /*<![CDATA[*/ (function() { var sz = document.createElement('script'); sz.type = 'text/javascript'; sz.async = true; sz.src = '//siteimproveanalytics.com/js/siteanalyze_8343.js'; var s = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(sz, s); })(); /*]]>*/ </script> </body> </html>
