UC San Diego has received a five-year, $16 million grant from NIH Common Fund’s Faculty Institutional Recruitment for Sustainable Transformation Program will enable the University of California San Diego to recruit 12 diverse, early-career research faculty in the biomedical sciences. This is the largest grant received by UC San Diego to enhance faculty diversity.
In April 2025, announcements from the two most influential biomedical agencies in the US, the FDA and the NIH, declared that both will seek to reduce and minimize animal-based testing and experimentation. These declarations sparked joy in some circles, and deep concern in others that was reflected in a 28% fall in the share price of Charles River Labs (NYSE: NYSE:CRL).
