Support

The institution's annual expenditures exceed $140 million. Most funding comes as contracts and grants for research from federal agencies, primarily the National Science Foundation, the Office of Naval Research, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, NASA, and the Department of Energy. The state of California provides about 15 percent of the total budget. Private gifts and endowments furnish funds critical to initiating new areas of research, supporting students, and constructing new facilities.
