Future Biotech Leaders Fund
IowaBio is a non-profit organization that seeks to promote the success and growth of biotech-based business in Iowa. We grow our state's strong biotech economy and increase its influence nationally and around the globe.
One of IowaBio’s core purposes since its formation has been to foster Iowa’s vibrant talent pipeline. Iowa’s STEM students are a critical component to fuel our IowaBio member companies with a skilled workforce. Through our support of STEM education, IowaBio creates meaningful partnerships in order to support students, teachers, schools, colleges, and universities through scholarships, stipends, programming and competitions that encourage and enrich STEM education.
In 2021, the Future Biotech Leaders Fund was opened to better support IowaBio's STEM activities. The fund is managed by the Community Foundation of Greater Des Moines and is used to support IowaBio's efforts to advance STEM across the state, including through programs such as the BioGENEius Challenge, the State Science and Technology Fair of Iowa, the Central Campus Scholarship Program, and the Governor's STEM Advisory Council.
