As tuberculosis was increasingly controlled by use of antibiotics, executive director Samuel L. Golter proposed that the institution expand to become a national medical center studying other diseases. The City of Hope's Cancer Research Institute was dedicated in 1952. Since then, the research scope has continued to expand, including cancer as a major focus but also studying other life-threatening diseases. In 1983, a major challenge grant of $10 million from the Arnold and Mabel Beckman Foundation enabled the research division of the City of Hope to undergo significant expansion and officially create the Beckman Research Institute. Funds were available for buildings, equipment, and endowment, but had to support research and the advancement of knowledge related to the "causes, prevention, and cure of human disease." The Beckman Research Institute at City of Hope was the first of five Beckman research institutes to receive funding in the United States.
