The Indiana University Melvin and Bren Simon Comprehensive Cancer Center is the only NCI-designated comprehensive cancer center in Indiana and one of just 51 in the nation. The comprehensive designation is the highest level of recognition awarded by the National Cancer Institute, the federal government’s principal agency for cancer research and training, and is the gold standard for cancer centers.
In 2019, NCI reviewers rated IU Simon Comprehensive Cancer Center as “outstanding” and awarded a five-year, $13.8 million grant to support the center’s research programs and shared equipment and resources.
