Meet the people who 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.
2023 CITRIS Seed Award Recipients
This past year, in competition for the 2023 CITRIS Seed Awards, teams from the University of California campuses at Berkeley, Davis, Davis Health, Merced and Santa Cruz submitted proposals that address various challenge areas within the information technology sector, including aviation, climate resilience, digital health and robotics.
Of those highly competitive proposals, six were chosen for funding - five of which included researchers from UC Davis. CITRIS at UC Davis is proud to have 11 Principal Investigators associated with these innovative projects.
