A decade of extraordinary progress: biosciences in the Greater Kansas City region.

The Greater Kansas City region has made significant progress as a national center for animal health and the biosciences. Each of our stakeholder institutions have continued to make significant advances in key programs, which collectively have elevated the region's bioscience effort, with total R&D expenditures approaching $500M. In considering the future, through collaborative efforts the region will continue to advance and build upon the major successes, while seeking additional opportunities to leverage regional and institutional strengths. Further progress will be reported at the KCALSI website.
