UC Davis Researchers Awarded Aggie Climate Action for Equity (ACE) Grants to Lead Innovations for Climate Change Solutions
'The State of California, through the University of California Office of the President, has granted $1 million for the Aggie Climate Action for Equity (ACE) initiative to enable the transition of early-stage climate-based projects to the next phase of tangible development.
By amplifying the number and quality of translational and proof-of-concept pilot projects emerging from the University of California, Davis, the ACE grants could play a tangible role in climate change mitigation, resilience and adaptation. The ACE program is managed by Venture Catalyst, under the Office of Research.
For the fiscal year 2024-25, seven projects were selected, and the recipients received up to $90,000 each to advance action-oriented clean-tech innovations to positively impact California’s communities vulnerable to the effects of climate change.'
