Direct costs awarded from July 1, 2021 – June 30, 2022 for research at ASCO member institutions rose 23% to nearly $38 million, according to ASCO’s 2021-22 Research Survey Report. $20.7 million came from the National Eye Institute (up from $19.1 million) and $9.9 million from industry (up from $7.4 million), while other federal awards more than doubled to $3.6 million. Approximately $16 million in direct costs was awarded for research in basic science ($14 million in the previous year), $9.5 million for research in clinical science ($9.3 million) and $11 million for research in translational science ($6.5 million).
The complete report was distributed to the ASCO Board of Directors in November and includes a list of direct costs awarded to each school and information about faculty and facilities devoted to research.
