From Labs to Lives

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.

39%

of Americans will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime

$13.2 Billion

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

$70 Million

lost in research funding if proposed 15% cap on NIH reimbursement is approved

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.
