Why do conceptual frameworks matter?

Because they connect your ideas to your methods — and help clarify your research impact.

Come with your research question. Leave with a testable framework.

UC isn’t just a university system—it’s a lifeline. Cutting $1B would:

🚫 Reduce educational access
🚫 Halt lifesaving care
🚫 Slow economic & tech growth

UC provides care for 11 million patients a year, fuels tech & economic growth, supports farmers, and educates the next generation.

This $1B demand puts all of that at risk. Help us protect UC’s mission.

💥 The federal gov’t is demanding $1B from UCLA—a move that would devastate UC. It threatens health care, research, jobs, and access to education.
