Newsom signs $7.5 billion science bond for California research
Original: Newsom signs $7.5 billion science bond bill, offers possible support for UCSF research — but not until 2028
California Governor Gavin Newsom has signed a $7.5 billion science bond bill, creating a potential funding stream for research institutions including the University of California, San Francisco. However, money would not flow until 2028, when voters would be asked to approve the borrowing. Observers note the delay leaves near-term research funding uncertain even as the measure signals long-term state support for science.
Why now: The signing commits billions to California science and medical research but defers actual spending to a 2028 ballot measure, prompting debate over timing and commitment.
