Global Interests
In keeping with the AACR’s efforts to foster the global exchange of knowledge among scientists dedicated to cancer research, the AACR is proud to offer a new tiered system for the economic classification of countries and territories. This new system uses a proprietary formula with data sourced from the World Bank, national-level research and development funding, national-level health expenditures, and the Human Development Index. We believe this system is more inclusive and reflects the circumstances of researchers on the ground.
AACR members who fall under this new economic classification are no longer required to pay membership dues, making it easier than ever for investigators to participate more fully in the global effort to eradicate cancer.
While annual dues are no longer required, members must still complete the renewal process to confirm their AACR membership and remain on the membership rolls. Simply log into your myAACR account using your email address and password, navigate to “My Membership” on the left-hand side of the screen, and follow the steps to complete the renewal process.
