I always find it interesting that sometimes headlines and stories can provide a false impression of a given situation. It is not that the information is incorrect in a news story. In this case, we, the business/local community, are supposed to believe that our one research medical school is doing great things and getting significant federal funding for its research. The funded areas mentioned in the article do not include serious public health issues of our State such as, diabetes, obesity, smoking, heart disease, cancer. Unfortunately, if one looks beyond the borders of our State, one will see a totally different picture. There are a variety of ways to illustrate this. However, a simple one is looking at the following listing from US NEWS & WORLD REPORT: https://www.usnews.com/best-graduate-schools/top-medical-schools/most-research-money-rankings?_sort=desc. One would think that with all of the publicity of Indiana CTSI, Indiana Biosciences Research Institute, BioCrossroads, one would have expected to see IU much higher on the list. Unfortunately, that is not the case. It does not matter if it is private or state-supported medical school. Also, when one considers the amount of IU’s collaboration with the pharmaceutical and medical device industry, one is equally disappointed. The business community and the citizens of our State deserve much more than we are receiving. One only has to look beyond our borders for a medical school of any notoriety. A minor league team should not pretend it is competing in the big leagues!! There are ways to improve the situation, but it seems that a monopoly at any cost is what we have to accept for our State.
