CCMBM Musculoskeletal Events & Opportunities
The Core Center for Musculoskeletal Biology & Medicine (CCMBM) defines itself
by emphasizing musculoskeletal-specific education and services that are critical to its members but not available elsewhere in the university system.

“I was part of a team that received a Tools and Technology grant, which allowed us to get new software that we otherwise wouldn't have been able to afford.  This has been extremely helpful since I am an early stage investigator and have limited resources to explore new technologies.

The CCMBM is also a valuable source for education and collaboration.  The bone marrow fat symposium a few years ago was very helpful in learning more about the field and getting to know local experts. I’m glad to be a member of the CCMBM.”

– Tiffany Kim, MD, Assistant Professor, Department of Medicine.

CCMBM Tools and Technology Grant

Awards are up to $5,000 to encourage utilization or services available through the CCMBM Cores.

Research topics should be translational in nature within the musculoskeletal field. The goal of this grant mechanism is to encourage utilization of the many cutting-edge technologies or services now available through the CCMBM cores

Priority will be placed on proposals requesting T/T funds to add the use of a new technology/ core service to an existing or recently-proposed project. Proposals requesting funds to support new project ideas should apply to the CCMBM Pilot and Feasibility Grant Program that will open August 24, 2020.
