The University of California, Davis, once again exceeded $1 billion in new external research awards in the fiscal year 2023-24, surpassing the amount received in the previous year by $33 million. The funding, which totaled $1.039 billion, will enable scientific discoveries and innovations addressing a wide range of global needs.

To encourage new interdisciplinary collaborations, the College of Letters and Science at UC Davis will launch the L&S Unites Initiative, which will support research projects from faculty across two, preferably three, of the college’s historic divisions.
