NIH funding has increased more than 95 percent over the past five years, and the school’s NIH ranking is currently 32nd in the nation and 15th among public medical schools. IU School of Medicine has been widely recognized for its seminal contributions to research related to public health priorities such as Alzheimer’s disease, musculoskeletal health, cancer and cardiovascular disease.

The school is capitalizing on its statewide footprint and the strengths of its nine campuses to graduate physicians who will serve all Hoosiers. More students are completing clinical rotations outside of Indianapolis, the school is partnering with community hospitals to add residency programs throughout the state, and campuses are developing scholarly concentrations that showcase their unique expertise and prepare students to tackle the most pressing challenges in health care.

IU School of Medicine has moved more than 65 independent physician groups into a single faculty group practice, IU Health Physicians, to improve delivery of care and strengthen the alignment of clinical, education and research missions. As a result, more Hoosiers have access to advanced care and the most promising therapies in the form of clinical research studies.

Grantmakers and individual donors have taken note of the school’s ambitious vision and are investing generously in research and other programs. The IU School of Medicine raised more than $1.7 billion as part of For All: The Indiana University Bicentennial Campaign, including 99 endowed chairs and professorships and 144 endowed scholarships.
