This Strategic Vision document serves as a blueprint for the University of California Agriculture and Natural Resources, guiding its work, structure, and resource allocation. It outlines key priorities across seven challenges: Strengthening Agriculture and Food Systems, Protecting and Restoring Natural Ecosystems and Working Landscapes, Cultivating Thriving People and Communities, Building Climate Change Resilience, Driving and Harnessing Innovation, Informing Regulations, Policy, and Compliance, and Addressing Systemic Inequities. The plan aims to cultivate thriving communities, sustainable agriculture, resilient ecosystems, and economic prosperity in California through science-based solutions, making a positive impact in people's lives and communities through meaningful engagement and collaboration.

This strategic plan outlines a multi-year framework to guide UC Agriculture and Natural Resources (UC ANR) in fulfilling its land-grant mission of teaching, research, and public service. The plan focuses on five key strategic objectives: Executing the Mission (Research and Extension), People, Financial Stability, Operational Excellence, and Awareness & Visibility. It aims to enhance financial health, cultivate a strong and diverse workforce, improve program and operational efficiency, and increase the visibility of UC ANR's research and programs. The ultimate vision is for UC ANR to be valued in every California community, catalyzing partnerships to lead in agriculture, natural resources management, ecosystem resilience, and community development.

This strategic plan outlines the Center for Data-driven Insights and Innovation's (CDI2) commitment to revolutionizing data-driven healthcare within the UC Health system by responsibly leveraging health data to advance clinical care, research, and operations. Its five strategic goals for 2024-2029 focus on equipping UC Health leadership with data and analytics, enabling the research community to leverage the UC Health Data Warehouse (UCHDW), developing Real World Evidence products and partnerships, implementing governance for responsible health data use and AI practices, and advancing UCHDW technical infrastructure and AI tools. The plan aims to drive decisions and discoveries, reduce costs, improve care quality, accelerate research, and promote health justice and equity.

The UC Regents adopted a multi-year framework in early 2019 known as "UC 2030: Advancing the California Dream." This framework seeks to achieve the following key goals: to produce over 200,000 additional degrees, to raise the undergraduate four-year graduation rate to 76% and the six-year graduation rate to 90%, to eliminate gaps for timely graduation and graduate degree attainment for Pell recipients, first-generation students, and underrepresented groups, and to invest in the next generation of faculty and research by adding 1,100 ladder-rank faculty over the next four years.

This strategic plan outlines key planning efforts for the University of California system, focusing on enhancing its global presence and impact. The main pillars include expanding the global reach of the university and its campuses, stimulating collaborative research and international partnerships to address global challenges, tracking and advising on emerging global issues, and managing data related to the university's international activities. The overarching goal is to inform strategies and decisions on the university's global engagement.
