AACR Scientific Achievement Awards, Lectureships, and Prizes
Since 1961, the AACR has been proud to recognize scientific excellence across the spectrum of basic, translational, clinical, and epidemiological cancer research through a robust collection of annual awards and lectureships that serve to honor laboratory researchers, physician-scientists, and population scientists who have made significant contributions to our understanding of the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of cancer. All annual award recipients were honored during the AACR Annual Meeting 2024 and the majority were invited to present featured lectures in conjunction with the meeting.
