Critical milestone: Release of Sustainable LA Five-Year Work Plan
The Sustainable LA Grand Challenge team released its Five-Year Work Plan identifying over 100 research recommendations critical to deliver a 2050 Sustainable LA Implementation Plan for Los Angeles County by 2020. A core team of faculty and researchers from across disciplines met regularly over the past year to develop the Work Plan with input from internal and external scholars.

UCLA OIP-ISR wants to help you license research tools you've created to assist in conducting your research. This usually results in money going right back to your lab! See the flyer for more information.
