LAUNCH

The U2C/TL1 LAUNCH (Learners to LeAders in Urology, Nephrology, and non-Cancer Hematology) Program is a multi-institutional training program for pre- and post-doctoral trainees to creatively and collaboratively innovate in KUH disciplines. The program spans four institutions in Northern California: University of California San Francisco (UCSF), University of California Berkeley, University of California Davis, and Stanford University. Within these exceptional environments, the LAUNCH Program aims to provide research training in the basic, translational, and clinical sciences for KUH Scholars, leveraging the high-quality resources and mentors available across our institutions. 

Our program is proud to be a part of the Kidney Urology Hematology Research Training Network (KUHR-TN), "Network of Networks”. This collaborative community spans multiple institutions nationwide. While we provide unique and distinctive opportunities within our own program, we are also part of a larger network comprising similar NIH-sponsored U2C-TL1 programs. This affiliation offers trainees access to a wide range of resources and opportunities
