UCSF MSK Center

Open MIKE Application

(Open Musculoskeletal Integrated Knowledge Exchange)

DESCRIPTION:

The Musculoskeletal (MSK) Center aims to foster collaboration among basic, clinical, and translational investigators in and beyond academia to improve musculoskeletal health. Recognizing the need for collaboration of MSK scientists with experts outside of the MSK field, we are providing support to MSKC members to host a meal for a creative and enjoyable in-person networking meeting to stimulate these interactions and to further develop new research ideas and plans to fund them. Faculty, staff, and trainees who are MSKC/CCMBM members are welcome to apply to host an event.


HOST AN EVENT:

To allow for networking, apply to host a meal (breakfast/lunch/dinner) with an agenda to strategize around a musculoskeletal related research topic. The MSK Center will support up to 6 Open MIKE groups this year. Submissions will be reviewed on a rolling basis, and results will be emailed within 10 business days. If you have any questions, please contact Cristal Yee at cristal.yee@ucsf.edu.
