California Climate Action Initiative
The California State Budget Act of 2022–23 allocated $100 million to the University of California Office of the President to invest in research that will have a swift and measurable impact on climate resilience. These funds are being used to fund action-oriented solutions to address California’s climate goals and needs, ensure that local communities are prepared and resilient, and prevent future disasters.
In 2023, the University of California awarded $83 million to 38 Seed and Matching Grants, and $15 million to 15 Innovation and Entrepreneurship Awards.
Ten of the Seed and Matching Grants also received a Community-Engaged S/Hero Award Supplement to their award, with funding provided by the Strategic Growth Council, to disseminate community engagement methods throughout the state.
