Melvin and Bren Simon of Indianapolis have committed an extraordinary gift of $50 million to the Indiana University Cancer Center to support both cancer research and patient-care initiatives.
One half of the $50 million gift will be used to create the Joshua Max Simon Research Endowment to recruit and retain internationally accomplished researchers to the Indiana University School of Medicine and support the school's laboratory research programs at the cancer center.
The other half of the gift will fund the expansion of the cancer center's patient-care facility, a collaboration between the Indiana University School of Medicine and Clarian Health.
