Programs

The Kansas Bioscience Authority is looking to selectively partner with bioscience companies, research institutions, inventors, entrepreneurs and investment professionals to substantially advance Kansas’ vibrant bioscience industry. This typically means that we provide grants or other financial assistance to accelerate research, help get products to market more quickly, and promote expansion of bioscience companies in Kansas.

The Kansas Bioscience Authority has been selected as one of nine organizations nationwide to participate in USDA-ARS’ exciting Agricultural Technology Innovation Partnership (ATIP) program, serving as the portal to businesses in the Northern Plains Region, which includes Kansas, Colorado, Utah, Nebraska, Wyoming, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Montana. As a strategic partner of USDA-ARS, the KBA will work with researchers, businesses, and organizations to spin federal research out of labs and accelerate economic growth in this region.

“KBA support has given many promising ventures an opportunity to advance their work. The fact that they’ve been doing that even in the current difficult economic climate puts the state in a strong position to take advantage of more opportunities as the economy recovers. That’s a good investment in the future.”
