U.S. Department of Energy features UCI water reclamation project

UCI’s partnership with the Irvine Ranch Water District on water reclamation is a featured case study on the U.S. Department of Energy’s Better Buildings website. The partnership focused on converting the cooling water system at the campus’ central plant from potable water to recycled water. The project saved 61 million gallons of drinking water annually.

What are clinical trials and how do they work?

Clinical trials are research studies used to find new treatments. They help researchers answer important questions about each potential treatment. New treatments can only be made widely available after clinical trials show they are safe and effective. Each clinical trial has different rules about who can join, called eligibility criteria, to make sure they provide the specific answers researchers are looking for.
