ROSWELL PARK CANCER INSTITUTE received an “outstanding” distinction from NCI, which renewed its Cancer Center Support Grant and extended its Comprehensive Cancer Center designation, following an in-depth peer review. Roswell Park will receive $19 million with the core grant covering a five-year period.
“With this renewal comes recognition from our peers from cancer centers around the nation of Roswell Park’s excellence in conducting innovative research, distinguished education programs and exemplary patient care,” said RPCI President and CEO Donald Trump.
The panel of peer reviewers from other NCI-designated centers wrote: “Under the exemplary leadership of the Center Director and with the continued involvement of the outstanding and productive Senior Leaders and commitment of the Institution… this established Cancer Center is well positioned to continue its contributions to the national mission to understand and eliminate cancer.”
New York State Governor Andrew Cuomo and Congressman Brian Higgins, along with other state and local leaders, joined Trump for Tuesday’s announcement at the 116-year-old cancer center.
