IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) -- University of Iowa officials says a $25 million donation from the Fraternal Order of Eagles will help pay for a new diabetes research center.
University Hospitals spokesman Tom Moore says the nonprofit organization agreed to contribute $5 million each year for the next five years. The new center will be named the Fraternal Order of Eagles Diabetes Research Center.
It will be part of the $120 million Institute of Biomedical Discovery. The 200,000-square foot institute is the final piece of a three-building overhaul of the health sciences campus.
University of Iowa faculty staff and students will conduct diabetes research at the new center.
Moore says a timeline for the project's completion hasn't been established.
