Special Research Programs (SRPs) provide a structure for collaborative research activities that do not fit the definition and purpose of other organized research at UCI. An SRP may, for example, be formed in response to a special funding opportunity, as the campus branch of a UC research program, or as part of a  governmental initiative.
