Programs & Funding
The programming and funding functions of the Center support the faculty and students of the departments of Astronomy, Biology, Chemistry, Environmental Studies, Physics, Psychology, Mathematics and Statistics, and Computer Science as well as others within the college who wish to pursue research in the sciences.
The KINSC funds individual research projects and also sponsors symposia, curricular initiatives, courses, and scholarly projects that go beyond the bounds of a single discipline and involve students and faculty from multiple departments.
The range of programs supported by the KINSC is limited only by the imagination of the Haverford science community.
