American Association for Cancer Research

The American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) is the first and largest cancer research organization dedicated to accelerating the conquest of cancer. Our mission is to cure cancer through research, education, communication and collaboration.

Our resources do not just fund fellowships and scholarships for cancer researchers in some of the leading hospitals, labs and research institutes around the world. We're also making investments into career training of cancer researchers, encouraging cross-disciplinary collaboration and creating avenues for information sharing amongst not just doctors and cancer researchers, but patients and families as well.
