Sponsor institutions are responsible for use/disposition of funds. Description: Update: Institutions are the recipients of CIAPM funding and should ensure applicants and awardees from their institutions are in good academic standing, compliant with institutional policies and applicable law. The California Initiative to Advance Precision Medicine (CIAPM) will award approximately $2.3 million to support around 15 doctoral students conducting representative precision medicine research projects in California over a 2.5-year project term. Precision medicine calls for the modern application of scientific data and clinical practice toward the individualization of prevention, diagnosis, measurement, and treatment of disease and wellbeing. Recognizing that doctoral students are a critical component of the biomedical research enterprise in California, this funding opportunity aims to support doctoral student representative research within California that uses a precision medicine framework, includes underrepresented populations, who have been underrecognized or historically excluded, as research participants, and reduces health disparities, so that research benefits all people within California, and pro
