KU Cancer Center Eyes Designation Path and New Research Building
KU faces timing uncertainty for NCI designation with a reapplication option if not approved. A detailed improvement blueprint would be issued by NCI, guiding compliance and addressing deficiencies. If designated, progress continues toward comprehensive center benchmarks and a three to five year grant renewal. A new clinical research building in Fairway opens end of January 2012, expanding Phase I trials. Director Ray Perez, a Dartmouth recruit, cites strong support from university, state, philanthropy, and Johnson County voters who funded the trials facility with a sales tax. Perez notes the tax boost accelerates entry into early trial work and that Kansas City cancer treatment has already improved.
