The Indiana University Melvin and Bren Simon Comprehensive Cancer Center was awarded two five-year NCI grants totaling more than $3.3 million to expand its summer education programs, which aim to foster an interest in cancer research fields as early as middle school and develop a diverse workforce in cancer research.
