Creating a Legacy of Research

Because of IHO Founding Director Donald Johanson’s passion for education and science, he created this endowment to inspire and contribute to training the next generation of human origins researchers. His generosity and leadership have been instrumental in sustaining a record of success of IHO’s students.

Women are underrepresented globally in science

The Institute of Human Origins (IHO) has long supported an increased opportunity for women in paleoanthropology, so we are delighted to announce a new endowment that will advance and inspire young women’s participation in science.

The Kaye Reed Scholarship Endowment will support undergraduate and graduate student research and contribute to a shift towards the gender equity needed in the research community.
