title: The NASA Specialized Center of Research and Training (NSCORT) in Gravitational Biology.
abstract: The Life Sciences Division of NASA has initiated a NASA Specialized Centers of Research and Training (NSCORT) program.  Three Centers were designated in late 1990, as the culmination of an in-depth peer review analysis of proposals from universities across the nation and around the world.  Kansas State University was selected as the NSCORT in Gravitational Biology.  This Center is headquartered in the KSU Division of Biology and has a research, training, and outreach function that focuses on cellular and developmental biology.
