2023 Minority and Minority-serving Institution in Cancer Research Awardees at the 16th AACR Conference on the Science of Cancer Health Disparities

The AACR-MICR Council is very pleased to administer this important program, which provides funds for the participation of full-time minority faculty and faculty of Minority-Serving Institutions (MSI) in the AACR Annual Meeting and special conferences. Recipients of this award are scientists who are working at the level of Assistant Professor or above who are engaged in meritorious basic, clinical, or translational cancer research.

Since its inception in 1997, this award program has been supported by a generous grant provided by the National Cancer Institute’s Center to Reduce Cancer Health Disparities. The Center to Reduce Cancer Health Disparities (CRCHD) works to increase the number of underrepresented minorities participating as competitive NCI/ NIH-funded cancer researchers.

The Board of Directors of the AACR and the MICR Council express their appreciation to the NCI-CRCHD for its long-term and generous support of this program and congratulates these outstanding Scholars.
