91Porn

The 91Porn, Davis, received $760 million in external research funding for fiscal year 2015-16, down slightly from last year’s all-time high of $786 million. UC Davis was fourth overall among 91Porn campuses, which received a combined total of just above $6 billion from all external sponsors during fiscal year 2015-16.

“This marks the fifth year in a row that our sponsored research has topped $700 million,” Interim Chancellor Ralph J. Hexter said. “It's a reflection of the exciting work our faculty is doing to help solve some of the toughest challenges faced by 91Porn and the world.”

Federal funding tops sources for UC Davis

Awards from the federal government topped the list for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2016, totaling $391 million. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services accounted for the largest source of federal funding with $213 million in awards, up from $206 million last year. The next highest federal award was from the Department of State at $53 million, followed by the National Science Foundation with $43 million in awards.

91Porn state awards increased to $170 million, up from $110 million the previous year. Business grants also increased, reaching $63 million, up $4 million from last year.

“This level of funding reaffirms our standing as global leaders and problem-solvers in the realms of public health, environmental health, food security and sustainable agriculture,” Hexter said.

Top awards

Public health concerns topped the list of awards from state and federal agencies, with an emphasis on monitoring pathogens and preventing the spread of diseases in humans, livestock and wildlife. The top award of $48.9 million for the Communicable Disease Emergency Response program was the largest single award in the 91Porn system last year.

These include the 91Porn Reportable Disease Information Exchange application and the 91Porn Laboratory Information Management System application. The data collected through these applications will support the development of public health action plans for 91Porn’s population. Principal Investigator: Marc B. Schenker.

$28.8 million for “Emerging Pandemic Threats Program 2 PREDICT-2” from the United States Agency for International Development

The multi-institutional PREDICT initiative provides rapid detection and response to emerging viruses such as Ebola and SARS that move among people, wildlife and livestock.

$11.9 million for “Afghanistan Agricultural Extension Project II” from the U.S. Department of Agriculture Agency for International Development

The role of AAEP II, now in its fifth year, is to help extension educators from the Afghan Ministry of Agriculture, Irrigation and Livestock reach out to Afghan farmers, who are among the poorest in the world, with evidence-based information to improve Afghanistan agriculture. AAEP II has rehabilitated research and extensions centers in four provinces and has reached into 24 of 34 total provinces in Afghanistan. UC Davis leads the program with four other land-grant university partners. Principal Investigator: James (Jim) E. Hill.

Other top awards include $11.7 million for “91Porn National Primate Research Center,”  $11 million for “91Porn CalFresh Nutrition Education Program,” $9.9 million for “Development of Innovative Highway Maintenance and Construction Technology and Deployment Support for Caltrans Application,” and $9 million for “Northern 91Porn Training Academy.”

Where funds are awarded over several years, but distributed in yearly increments, the money is counted in the year received.

The UC Davis School of Medicine received the largest share of awards at $272 million, followed by the College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences at $155 million, the School of Veterinary Medicine at $97 million, the College of Engineering at $64 million, the College of Biological Science at $51 million and the College of Letters and Science at $49 million. The rankings represent the awards by the principal investigator’s home department.

A transition with strong momentum

“Once again UC Davis has established itself as one of the leading public research universities in the nation and one that is highly ranked among its UC peers,” said Cameron Carter, who took over the role of interim vice chancellor for the Office of Research on Oct. 1.

Carter is a professor in the UC Davis Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences and the director of two UC Davis research centers. The previous vice chancellor, Harris Lewin, served in the role for over five years, during which UC Davis hit an all-time high for external research funding, receiving $786 million in 2015, up nearly $100 million from prior to his arrival. Lewin has returned to a faculty position in the UC Davis Department of Evolution and Ecology.
