The UC Davis Blum Center was established by a multi-UC research grant in 2010 modeled after the successful UC Berkeley Blum Center. Since then, the UC Davis Blum Center has supported a total of 50 UC Davis-based projects abroad through our main grants. Our purpose as an on-campus research center is to promote a rigorous multi-disciplinary approach by engaging the unique strengths of UC Davis in agriculture, environmental sciences, public health, veterinary medicine, and entrepreneurship with theory and practice to address the root causes of global poverty and inequality.
