Funding Sources for Climate Change Research

State of California Funding for Climate Change Research

Given the interlinked, multi-dimensional nature of climate change impacts, California faces a very broad and complex set of issues requiring further research. To accommodate the breadth of research needs, the California Climate Change Center operates an "other" research branch to conduct vital projects that don't naturally fall within the three primary branches.

Topical guidance still derives from the California Energy Commission Public Interest Energy Research (PIER) Program's climate change research plan(s). Management support is provided by the University of California, Office of the President, which administers the competitive research grants program.
