How Research Funding Solves Real-World Problems
UC Davis is a powerhouse for breakthroughs and impact. Our interdisciplinary research plays a vital role in building the region’s economy. Our research contributes to our nation’s global leadership in technology and innovation. Through collaboration between our top-ranked hospital and veterinary school, as well as our science and engineering discoveries, our research directly improves American lives.
Here, our researchers describe the impact of their work, and the consequences if federal support for this cutting-edge research were reduced or eliminated.
