UC San Diego has received a five-year, $16 million grant from NIH Common Fund’s Faculty Institutional Recruitment for Sustainable Transformation Program will enable the University of California San Diego to recruit 12 diverse, early-career research faculty in the biomedical sciences. This is the largest grant received by UC San Diego to enhance faculty diversity.
The day before health economist Jay Bhattacharya stepped into his new role as NIH director, he sent a document to his employees outlining his top five priorities for the department, which included “reproducibility” and “transparency,” two themes he discussed at his confirmation hearings (The Cancer Letter, March 7, 2025).
