What’s at Stake with Federal Research Funding Cuts

Federal research funding cuts threaten UC Davis discoveries in health, agriculture and technology that improve lives worldwide.

This research is part of the Driven by Curiosity series, highlighting the impact of UC Davis scientists.

If you eat strawberries, rice or beef, you can thank a researcher from the University of California, Davis, who in partnership with the federal government, have made these foods tastier, more resistant to disease and drought, and better for the planet.

For people with ALS, Alzheimer’s disease and other conditions, this partnership is leading to discoveries and therapies that help manage symptoms and may eventually lead to cures.

For decades, the federal government has relied on top-tier research universities like UC Davis to carry out laboratory research, clinical trials and fundamental science that advance human, animal and planetary health, make the food supply safer and healthier, and improve our understanding of the world.
