The University of California Center for Health Quality and Innovation (CHQI) is offering a new UC Health Fellowship program.
The program provides support for projects that will adopt cost-saving innovations in care delivery while improving quality at UC Health, and provides leadership opportunities for UC Health staff and faculty. Any staff or faculty employed by a UC medical center, clinic, or health professional school may apply. The program expects to make three to five awards of $50,000 to support a portion of the salary and benefits associated with time spent on the project.

Agency Advice on Funding Innovative Research
In the September 14 issue of the NIAID Funding Newsletter, the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases provides advice on How to Get Funding for Innovative Research.
