Record-breaking year: UC Irvine nets $441 million in research funding

Turning out educated students who earn diplomas is a big part of UC Irvine’s mission, but the school also produces a wide variety of research, and last year was a blockbuster in terms of grants supporting that work.
The second-youngest of the University of California system’s 10 campuses, UCI reported in fiscal 2018-19 it received 825 awards totaling $441 million in research funding, the most the school has ever received in a year and about a 47 percent increase since 2012-13, accord
