UC Davis Surpasses $1 Billion in Research Funding

This year we reached a major milestone, attracting $1.07 billion in external research funding in the fiscal year 2021-22, up $102.9 million from the previous record set last year. In doing so, UC Davis joins an exclusive group of fewer than 20 public universities in the nation surpassing $1 billion in research funding.

As the funding for research grows, so does the impact that UC Davis extends around the world. This year’s grand accomplishment of surpassing $1 billion in research funding will translate into tomorrow’s discoveries, insight and products that offer a brighter future for our global community.

An event to celebrate the achievement and showcase some of the exciting research discoveries and emerging technologies is planned for November 1, 2022. You can sign up to register for the event here.

The Policy applies to all Research Data generated or collected during the course of University Research.
