How it Works

• UC scientists and industry partners collaborate to identify basic research goals and develop a focused proposal. (October, January, May deadlines)

• Industry partners provide some money; UC and the State of California provide matching funds.

• Our rigorous peer review of proposals ensures high quality research plans and reasonable budgets.

• Grant request to inception is just 100 days.

• Research projects range from: 1-4 years $50K-$5 million (joint)
