<a href="http://today.uci.edu/news/release_detail.asp?key=870">http://today.uci.edu/news/release_detail.asp?key=870</a>"</p>
<p>Way to use outdated information and misinterpret them. Your source is from the year 2000, it's 2007 now, so it's not a strong increase this year.</p>
<p>"The highest percentage of funding – 68 percent – went to biological and medical sciences, where researchers were awarded $210 million." This is from an article published in July of 2006.</p>

<p>If you want to see your school on ESPN and win a national title, I would go with UCI.</p>
<p>This year, UCI men's volleyball won the division 1 NCAA championship and now UCI just beat Fullerton in the college world series. Games are aired on ESPN/ESPN2.</p>

<p>^Lol, that's cool...</p>
<p>What about Davis's sports?</p>
<p>Ah my stalker friend at it again....</p>
<p>If you open the link I provided and look at the date in the upper left hand corner it is current. That is the date I wrongly assumed for the article. I am no longer as young and observant as I once was so yes TheRighteous you are correct the article (curiously I found it using UCI's search engine) is outdated. I did not offer an opinion either way about the two schools since they do both have different offerings. Hopefully the links provided will allow anyone interested to research a little further on their own.</p>
<p>I did a search on UCI's site as well and if you read the press releases, it clearly tells you the year. The first link that came up was for 2006, but I always double check the dates when researching just to be safe.</p>
<p>^Thank you collegemom16 for the link!</p>

Research funding hits $544M</p>
<p>UC Davis received a record $543,983,761 in research funds in the recently completed 2005-06 fiscal year. That figure represents a more than $38 million increase over the previous year's figure, which was itself a record $505 million, in 2004-05.
Almost a quarter of the funds awarded to the campus — $136 million — went to the School of Medicine. Next were the College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences, $119 million; the School of Veterinary Medicine, $80 million; College of Engineering, $52 million; College of Biological Sciences, $46 million; and the Division of Mathematical and Physical Sciences within the College of Letters and Science, $21 million. The divisions of Social Sciences and Humanities, Arts and Cultural Studies, received $8 million and $1.7 million, respectively.</p>
<p>Organized research units reporting to the Office of Research, such as the Bodega Marine Laboratory, the John Muir Institute of the Environment and the Crocker Nuclear Laboratory, received $46 million. The provost's office received $23 million, mostly in funding for University Extension.</p>

<p>Sorry, but back to the question of sports. UCI has been the lead-off story on ESPN Sportscenter and beat ASU in front of an almost record crowd of nearly 30,000 </p>

<p>Which one is harder to get into?</p>
<p>Well, I got into UCD but not UCI. Could just be me, though. I would have gone to UCD over UCI anyway.</p>
