UI wins cancer grant

The University of Iowa has garnered $607,188 from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services for cancer detection and diagnosis, Sen. Charles Grassley, R-Iowa, said in a statement Monday.

The money comes from the National Cancer Institute, and it will be dedicated to a research project called “Quantitative Imaging to Assess Response in Cancer Therapy Trials.”

The competitive grant was awarded to the UI based on its ability to meet federally set criteria.
