The College of Medicine Class of 2003 used its class gift to establish the IvaDean Medical Student Scholarship Fund as a tribute to IvaDean’s profound influence and support on medical students as their advisor, advocate, and confidante. Years and years of medical student classes have interacted with IvaDean and she always made sure to take care of “her kids”. The scholarship is now endowed and provides meaningful support for many students annually.

The Cancer Center Directors Fund ensures nimble resources to capitalize on our greatest opportunities to bolster recruitment of nationally recognized researchers and clinicians, accelerates research through streamlined investments in shared technological resources and pilot funding, and connect researchers and clinicians across the organizations, colleges, and disciplines through collaborative educational training opportunities.

An important part of the University of Cincinnati Cancer Center’s mission is conducting cutting edge basic and clinical research to improve outcomes for patients with a variety of cancers and advance the field overall. Our researchers have access to robust core facilities that allow them to drive significant advances in translational and clinical research. A gift to this fund will drive research from bench to bedside at UCCC.

The Blood Cancer Healing Center Fund supports UC’s latest all-in-one facility -poised to redefine care standards by offering comprehensive patient support and innovative treatments under one roof. With clinical services opening as part of a phased approach, this state-of-the-art facility will address the critical needs of 1.6 million individuals affected by blood cancers, such as leukemia, lymphoma, and myeloma annually in the US.

The Neurology Discretionary Fund supports the general research and education purposes in the Department of Neurology and Rehabilitation Medicine

This fund supports research conducted in the Department of Neurosurgery such as “high risk/high reward” ideas that are less likely to find support through conventional grant funding.

World-class faculty not only support patients through clinical care but they inspire the next generation of physicians. Recruiting and retaining physicians and researchers is critical to the College of Medicine’s success. An endowed professorship or chair is one of the highest honors a university can grant a faculty member. Endowing a position provides support in perpetuity and allows faculty members to pursue groundbreaking research projects that could lead to major discoveries.
