The Gastrointestinal (GI) Specialized Program of Research Excellence (SPORE) is an $11.3 million research grant awarded to the Case Comprehensive Cancer Center (Case CCC) to establish a SPORE in GI cancers. Researchers from Case Western Reserve University, University Hospitals, and Cleveland Clinic—all members of the cancer center consortium—collaborate in the research effort.
