Gov. Gray Davis's recently released 2001-02 budget proposal includes $33 million as the first of three annual installments to establish UC Berkeley's Center for Information Technology Research in the Interest of Society (CITRIS).

CITRIS will be a unique partnership of the state, California's high-tech industry, and UC campuses at Berkeley, Davis, Santa Cruz and Merced to bring the power of information to bear on such societal needs as energy efficiency, transportation, education, emergency preparedness, and health care.

If funded by the Legislature, CITRIS would become the fourth California Institute for Science and Innovation (CISI). Three other institutes were funded in December at various UC campuses after competitive competitions, including QB3, a joint Berkeley/UC San Francisco/UC Santa Cruz project.
