100 Voices of Hope IU Simon Cancer Center is a philanthropic accelerator that connects community perspectives with researchers at IU Simon Cancer Center to fund innovative breast cancer ideas. Based in Indianapolis, Indiana, it operates as a small team within the hospital and health care sector. Since 2008, it has raised more than $1.5 million to support breast cancer research and has funded 16 ideas named Hunches in metastatic breast cancer at IU. One of these ideas, Hunch #4 from 2011, has progressed to a clinical trial at IU Simon Cancer Center. The program has helped attract about $4.67 million in federal grants to extend initial findings, with 10 more grants pending, and it has yielded several publications and conference presentations by IU researchers.
