KANSAS RESEARCH AT THE FOREFRONT

KU partners with Kansas State University, Wichita State University and the Kansas Technology Enterprise Corporation in an organization known as Kansas NSF EPSCoR. The National Science Foundation formed the Experimental Program to Stimulate Competitive Research to promote scientific progress in states that have traditionally received small amounts of NSF research funding. The site, www.nsfepscor.ku.edu/, features information on how KU researchers can get involved, proposal requests, information about funding opportunities, contacts in the program and awards won by projects associated with the program.

NOTABLE ALUMS:

Pioneer nutritionist and 1903 KU graduate Elmer McCollum of Fort Scott initiated the system of naming vitamins with letters and isolated the growth-promoting factors now called vitamins A and B. But he was no pill popper. Rather, he was a fierce believer in nutrition through food, saying vitamins were no more "vital" than other nutrients. His home in Baltimore is a National Historic Landmark.
