educating future scientists and technological leaders.
   (b) Each institute shall be created pursuant to a competitive
application process conducted by a panel selected by the Governor and
administered by the University of California.
   (c) In order to utilize the vast array of research and
intellectual resources available from throughout the state, each
institute may develop programs in cooperation with the private sector

   (6) Agricultural technology.
   (e) Funding for the state's share of operating and facilities

budget purposes.
   (b) That a portion of the funds referenced in subdivision (a) be
available, in an amount not to exceed 5 percent of the annual

of four years, the level of ongoing funding for the operating budget
of the institutes will be determined by the Governor and the
Legislature through the annual budget process.
   (c) That the University of California will not seek further state
funding for capital outlay associated with these three institutes
beyond that provided within the three hundred million dollar
($300,000,000) total.

shall be matched by at least two dollars ($2) of nonstate funds,
