Overview

Mission

To reduce cancer incidence and mortality through improved treatment and prevention by offering national, state-of-the-art cancer research to local communities.

What it reported doing in 2024

Dayton clinical oncology program, incorporated in 1983, was designated one of the original national cancer institute (nci) grant-funded community clinical oncology programs. Its mission is to provide access to state-of-the-art nci clinical trials to communities throughout Ohio and eastern Indiana. Membership within the nci network provides access to phase ii and phase iii trials for newly diagnosed as well as advanced cancer patients, with options for treatment, symptom management, cancer care delivery, and demographic trials. The collaboration between dayton clinical oncology program and its consortium members of eight hospitals, 48 physicians representing medical, surgical and radiation oncology, and hospital-based oncology research coordinators is what makes the program successful and available for cancer patients.

Operating model

Revenue model
Grant-funded. 88% of the money available for current operations came from government grants.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
