KU receives grant for drug action research
A grant of $297,000 to the University of Kansas from the U.S. Public Health Service (USPHS) for the study of basic mechanisms of drug action is the first part of a five-year health sciences advancement award which will involve $2.7 million for research activities on both the Lawrence and Kansas City campuses.
The long-range goal of the Health Sciences Advancement Award program of the USPHS is "to expand the national capability for research in the health sciences by increasing the number of truly distinguished biomedical research and research training centers in the nation.
"The program is intended for institutions that presently have substantial biomedical strength on which to build and that have the potential for becoming outstanding centers within a limited time span and with catalytic amounts of additional support," according to the USPHS announcement.
Awards to KU and Duke University were the only ones made this year.
The Lawrence group in the two-campus effort will consider basic chemistry and physics as applied to drugs, their behavior, and their mechanism of action. The Kansas City group will consider the basic mechanism of drug action, with the emphasis on the chemical basis.
The two groups will work together in part through the existclosed-circuit television system between Lawrence and the Medical Center.
