In 1994 HHMI awarded the University of Kansas School of Medicine-Wichita Campus $175,000 to support a collaboration of the School of Medicine, the Women's Research Institute, the Urban League of Wichita, and the Wichita Public School District in the Biomedical Research Initiative Through Education Excellence, a program to stimulate young people to enter health careers in medicine and biomedical research. The intent is to expand on three successful programs and coordinate a continuum of hands-on didactic science education. The existing programs to be expanded are (1) the Urban League's Young Engineers and Scientists Program, which recruits academically promising minority sixth graders for advanced academic classes, health-related activities, and mentoring; (2) the Women's Research Institute's Minority High School Student Research Apprenticeship Program, which supports secondary school students for a summer research experience to be continued during the academic year; and (3) the Wichita Public School District's Summer Continuing Education Teacher Internship Program, which offers secondary school teachers the opportunity to take graduate-level science courses.
