Northern Indiana Cancer Research Consortium

The Northern Indiana Cancer Research Consortium (NICRC) is a community-based clinical research organization that provides access to National Cancer Institute (NCI) sponsored clinical trials. Operating as a member of the NCI Community Oncology Research Program (NCORP), the consortium partners with regional healthcare systems including Beacon Health System and Goshen Health. NICRC focuses on a broad spectrum of oncology research, including cancer prevention, screening, treatment, and cancer care delivery. By facilitating these trials, the organization allows patients in Northern Indiana and Southwestern Michigan to access innovative therapies without traveling to major academic centers. The consortium plays a vital role in advancing evidence-based cancer care through its robust infrastructure for clinical trial management and patient enrollment. It serves as a critical link between federal research initiatives and community-level healthcare delivery.
