Real research. Real people. Real impact.

Federal research funding brings solutions from our labs to your community — faster.

Federal Funding Matters

Federal research funding turns lab work into real help. More funding means faster treatments, cleaner air and water, safer families and stronger businesses. When funding freezes, progress slows and costs rise.

$13.2 Billion

UC Davis powers billions in economic impact to California, supporting more than 68,300 jobs statewide

Critical Research Hangs in the Balance

University of California breakthroughs — from the internet to cancer drugs to the chip in your smartphone to the food on your plate — have saved countless lives worldwide, sparked whole new industries and kept America safer and stronger on the world stage. But now, UC scientists’ ability to move forward faces multiple obstacles.
