Through SB 895, UC is funding California research
March 10, 2026 •
Facing one of the most significant disruptions to its research enterprise in its 158-year history, UC is sponsoring state Senator Scott Wiener’s SB 895, bipartisan legislation that would place a $23 billion bond to fund scientific research across California on the November 2026 ballot.
“University research has been under sustained attack over the past year,” said UC President James B. Milliken. “This bill aims to protect the remarkable advances benefiting millions of Californians now and in the future. We are proud to cosponsor this bill and will always stand up for science.”
