Funding
The Department of Pharmaceutical Chemistry has an operating budget of more than $39 million. The department, and the UCSF School of Pharmacy of which it is a part, are state-assisted, not fully state-funded.
In addition to California state general funds, Department of Pharmaceutical Chemistry funding sources include federal and other contracts and grants, private gifts, faculty professional fees and School services, student professional fee and continuing education program income, and indirect cost recovery funds.
