A Community Commitment

Family hugging

Leading the way to a better future

Groundbreaking research, therapeutic treatments and life-changing cures are possible when a community embraces a vision of building a better future. KU's new Clinical Research Center, which will offer early-phase cancer trials and other clinical research studies, is the culmination of that kind of caring community commitment.

Bullet LEARN HOW TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE THROUGH MEDICAL RESEARCH

The residents of Johnson County championed this project in 2008 with the approval of a 1/8th-cent sales tax for research and education, a defining decision that will improve the lives of generations to come.

The tax is projected to raise $15 million a year for a three-pronged venture called the Johnson County Education and Research Triangle (JCERT). Each of three university-backed projects, which aim to advance research, science, education and technology, will boost the Kansas City area's reputation as a leader in the life-science and biomedical fields.
