Dana-Farber Cancer Institute has agreed to pay $15 million to the U.S. government in a settlement to resolve allegations that, between 2014 and 2024, Dana-Farber violated the False Claims Act by “using fraudulent images in grant applications and research articles to induce the NIH to pay millions of dollars to support research at Dana-Farber.”
In Florida, cancer is part of daily life for thousands of families. It is the state’s second-leading cause of death. Each year, an estimated 115,000 Floridians receive a new cancer diagnosis and certain preventable or virus-linked cancers continue to impose avoidable burdens on communities across the state.
