The UCSF Osher Center for Integrative Health (OCIH) invites project ideas and broad input to advance the Center’s Integrative Health Equity Initiative. Up to four projects, ranging from $12,000-$20,000, will be awarded with financial support from the Mount Zion Health Fund.
Projects must:
Advance OCIH efforts to address inequities in health and healthcare with integrative medicine.
Be led by a current member of the Osher Center and directly benefit the OCIH community at Mount Zion. Current members are defined as staff, learners, or faculty with at least 50% FTE at OCIH, or OCIH core or affiliated faculty members.
Focus on direct patient care or medical education/training services.
The Open Proposals process encourages everyone at the Osher Center, as well as our new Community Advisory Council members, to make suggestions for project improvement throughout the proposal development process. This open, online submission system provides a tangible way for us all to contribute to the OCIH Integrative Health Equity Initiative to advance our efforts to address inequities in health and healthcare with integrative medicine through cross-program collaboration.
