WEB WORKS

A BIG IDEA: The Kansas IDeA program lives on the Web at kansasidea.kumc.edu. The site contains a summary of the program, which has brought more than $120 million to Kansas in the past seven years. It also features Kansas researchers who are working with competitive grants from the National Center for Research Resources at the National Institutes of Health. Proposals under review, IDeA program objectives, a glossary and Kansas IDeAs magazine are all available through the site as well.
