Benefits for the State


The Consortium's success will mean much more than improved cancer research for the citizens of Louisiana. It will also:

  • Fuel economic development by helping to attract federal grants, industrial partnerships, good jobs, and new businesses as a result of scientific discovery

  • Promote cancer prevention and aim to lower the death rate from cancer

  • Provide the citizens of Louisiana better opportunities for cancer care with an NCI-Designated Cancer Center in their home state.
