Kansas universities urged to grow federal research funding
The Kansan editorial argues that attracting federal dollars to KU and other state universities matters for sustaining research, payroll, and faculty recruitment. It notes KU's $171 million in federal funds lifting it to 38th among public research universities and 75th among all, with KS State at $106 million and 132nd overall. It cites NSF rankings, concerns over sequestration, and calls for renewed support from federal legislators while promoting industry and foundation funding.
