KBA presses culture shift as funding comes under review
Kansas Bioscience Authority leader Duane Cantrell touts an improved relationship with state legislators as the agency pursues a new investment policy. The board faces a potential funding cut in next year’s budget, with Gov Brownback proposing $10 million down from $35 million, and possible shifts of bioscience funding to KU Medical Center amid the Midwest Stem Cell Therapy Center plan. Cantrell said officials have not been told how the proposal will impact the KBA budget.
