{{main|List of University of California, Davis faculty}}
UC Davis is one of 62 members in the [[Association of American Universities]], an organization of leading research universities devoted to maintaining a strong system of academic research and education. It consists of sixty universities in the United States (both public and private) and two universities in Canada.

Between 2017 and 2020, [[UC Davis]] was paid $1.4 million by [[Neuralink]] to use its facilities for experiments with brain implants in monkeys. Some monkeys were euthanized after developing infections. The [[Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine]] has filed a public records lawsuit demanding access to the research.<ref>{{Cite web |date=September 26, 2022 |title=Physicians Committee's Lawsuit Against Elon Musk Company Neuralink Reveals Existence of Hundreds of Photos of Monkeys Used in Painful Experiments |url=https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20220926005606/en/Physicians-Committee%E2%80%99s-Lawsuit-Against-Elon-Musk-Company-Neuralink-Reveals-Existence-of-Hundreds-of-Photos-of-Monkeys-Used-in-Painful-Experiments |access-date=September 30, 2022 |website=www.businesswire.com |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Battle Erupts Over Alleged Grisly Photos of Brain-Hacked Neuralink Monkeys |url=https://futurism.com/uc-davis-neuralink-monkey-photos-lawsuit |access-date=September 30, 2022 |website=Futurism|date=September 28, 2022 }}</ref> The university claims that it complied with the California Public Records act, and that research protocols were thoroughly reviewed and approved by the campus's Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC).<ref>{{Cite web |last=Fell |first=Andy |date=February 9, 2022 |title=Statement on UC Davis and Neuralink |url=https://www.ucdavis.edu/news/uc-davis-and-neuralink |access-date=September 30, 2022 |website=UC Davis |language=en}}</ref>
