Meet the people that make CITRIS at UC Davis what it is - our faculty researchers. With over 150 research faculty connected through CITRIS in over 30 departments, schools and centers, UC Davis has a broad network of experts changing the world with the help of CITRIS funding.
This past year, in competition for the 2021 CITRIS Seed Awards, teams from the University of California campuses at Berkeley, Davis, Davis Health, Merced and Santa Cruz submitted 47 proposals for innovative, early-stage projects that emphasize collaboration across two or more institutions.
Of those highly competetive proposals, thirteen were chosen for funding - eleven of which included researchers from UC Davis. CITRIS at UC Davis is proud to have 19 Principal Investigators associated with these innovative projects.
