California is home to the world’s leading researchers, universities and innovators. We have one of the most extraordinary coastlines on Earth. These aren’t liabilities to dismantle. That’s why California Democrats are fighting to protect both. Cutting Research for Cures: Washington shouldn’t be allowed to undermine lifesaving research at our universities or silence California when decisions are made about our own 840-mile coastline. Trump is putting California’s world-class research at risk. Federal research funding for the University of California has slowed dramatically. As of July 13, National Science Foundation grants to UC were down 39% from recent years and National Institutes of Health funding was down 22%. The Trump administration has gone even further, suspending 796 UCLA research grants totaling $584 million. A federal court subsequently ordered most of those grants restored. These aren’t abstract federal dollars. They support research into cancer and disease, biomedical breakthroughs, new technologies, national security and discoveries that can improve and save lives.
