The SOS Funding Research program provides about $1 million per year to support research grants for UCSF faculty across all schools. It has helped increase overall research funding at UCSF to over $12.3 million total and 421 total awards. Statistics show that from 2001-2005, SOS awarded $5.5 million which subsequently helped recruit over $44 million in additional funding, mostly from government sources. Quotes from grant recipients indicate that SOS funding was critical for obtaining preliminary data and publications needed to achieve subsequent larger grants. SOS has also contributed to advances in standards of care, new policies, and medical technologies.
