We are pleased to announce the 2025 request for research proposals for the Russell L. Rustici Rangeland and Cattle Research Endowment. The endowment was established within the College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences, University of California, Davis through a generous gift from the estate of Russell L. Rustici. Earnings from this endowment are allocated annually via this request for proposals. Funding is available to University of California personnel to support problem-solving research to benefit California range cattle producers.
