Physicians and scientists at IU School of Medicine are consistently awarded more than $200 million a year to study the underlying causes of disease, the development of new therapeutics, and how to improve the delivery of care. A substantial part of that funding—close to $75 million—was awarded to investigators within Stark Neurosciences Research Institute, including four of the largest grants at the school dedicated to Alzheimer's disease research.
