Michael Caligiuri, who over the past 14 years demonstrated virtuosity in recruitment, lobbying, and fundraising, building the third-largest cancer hospital in the U.S., has stepped down as director of The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center and as CEO of the Arthur G. James Cancer Hospital and Richard J. Solove Research Institute.
In recent months, several directors of cancer centers, appearing on The Directors, a segment of The Cancer Letter Podcast, mentioned that their institutions are increasingly providing small grants—typically in the range of $50,000—to scientists to enable them to keep their labs open.
