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.
ACKNOWLEDGING THE CCMBM
If you have received a CCMBM grant, formed a collaboration at one of our events, or used one of our cores, please acknowledge the CCMBM in related publications and presentations. We suggest stating:

Research reported in this publication was supported by the UCSF Core Center for Musculoskeletal Biology and Medicine (CCMBM) of the National Institute of Health's National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS) under the award number P30AR075055.

During these unprecedented times, let CCMBM help you weather COVID-19 and prepare grants for the upcoming Cycle II and Cycle III NIH deadline(s).

With everyone hunkered down, reading papers, analyzing data, and writing grants, your CCMBM community has opportunities available to help.

Are you applying for a summer or early fall grant? Here is a valuable opportunity! Get statistical analysis help from a biostatistical expert.

How the CCMBM Statistical Analysis Coaching Session Works:

1. A one-hour Zoom call open to all CCMBM members

2. Three investigators get input on a grant application biostatistical plan from a biostatistical expert, while others watch and learn.

3. 15-20 minutes is spent on each investigator.

4. The participants must be preparing a grant application to submit this summer for Cycle II, or fall for Cycle III. Each investigator presents 4 slides:
- The grant's specific aims.
- What data is being collected.
- An example/mock figure or table demonstrating how the data will ultimately be presented.
- The several draft sentences from the grant application describing the statistical approach. 

The expert will provide big-picture initial advice, potentially helping the investigator articulate questions to ask in a more detailed CTSI/CCMBM consultation.

For those interested in presenting or just joining to learn may sign up via this link bit.ly/CCMBMstats. Date and time for Zoom session will be announced.

How to Share Research Data to Meet Funder and Journal Requirements - Online!
If you are funded by the NIH, HHMI, or Gates Foundation, or plan to publish in PLOS, PNAS, Science or Nature it is very likely that you will be asked to make your research data publicly available. The goal of this mini workshop is to get you up to speed with these new requirements and help you work reproducible and painless data sharing into your research process. The zoom link will be sent out a week in advance.
