Russell L. Rustici Rangeland and Cattle Research Endowment funding is available to University of California personnel to support problem-solving research that will benefit California range cattle producers. The goal of this program is to promote collaboration and strengthen the network among research faculty, Cooperative Extension specialists, county-based Cooperative Extension advisors and range cattle producers, and to ultimately provide practical answers to critical issues and challenges facing the industry.

Annual research proposals for 2021 are due by 5 p.m., Tuesday, Dec. 1, 2020, to rusticiresearch@ucdavis.edu.  

Extension activity proposals are accepted year-round at rusticiresearch@ucdavis.edu.
