The IU Simon Comprehensive Cancer Center, Office of Community Outreach and Engagement focuses on reducing the cancer burden in Indiana through community engagement, research, and education.

The Stark Neurosciences Pre-Clinical Neuroimaging Pilot Grant is designed to advance new knowledge in the field of neurosciences by supporting funded research initiatives. It offers up to $10,000 in seed support for pioneering and potentially high-return animal imaging studies that make use of the Bruker BioSpec 9.4T PET-MRI scanner within the IIBIS In-Vivo Imaging Core. The program targets established investigators without prior experience in neuroimaging, aiming to incorporate neuroimaging techniques to enhance their existing research projects.
