Membership

Interested in getting your research funded? 

To be eligible to apply for a grant, a potential applicant must be a UC San Diego faculty or staff member and a member of the Krupp Center for Integrative Research (KCIR). To become a KCIR member, please complete the following: KCIR Membership Application

Members will be the first to receive announcements about new funding cycles and collaborative opportunities. Members also will be included in an invitation-only annual meeting to discuss the cultivation of new project ideas that may influence strategic planning and future directions.

We also request that our members consider becoming mentors to support new investigators. The senior member may serve as a co-Investigator on the research proposal being developed or may serve as an engaged advisor without being a collaborator on the proposed research.
