Reaching Across the Causeway Award
By School of Veterinary Medicine and School of Medicine

Together the Associate Dean of Research of the School of Veterinary Medicine, Vice Dean for Research of the School of Medicine, the UC Davis Comprehensive Cancer Center, and the UC Davis Clinical and Translational Science Center have come together to incentivize collaborative science by new research teams that seek bold ideas and open new areas of investigation between the schools. The program will provide one year of support for five multi-school (SOM/SVM) department teams to fund planning, preparation, and submission of team-based applications.
