Kansas universities secure 18 million bio science grant
The Kansas plan funds nine campuses including KU and Pittsburg State to boost bioinformatics and biomed research. It will provide $3000 stipends to 30 students annually and $10000 grants to promising young faculty, with Lisa Timmons among the researchers expanding cancer related genetic work. The effort aligns with the Kansas Economic Growth Act and NIH supported infrastructure begun in 2001.

KU research funding rises while national ranking slips
Kevin Boatright notes KU public research funding grew to 82.7 million dollars in 2002, up from 31 million a decade earlier, while the university's ranking in public universities non medical centers fell from 78th in 2000 to 45th. Joan Hunt cites biomedical research gains as essential, with two large 2004 EU grants pending inclusion in future figures.
