MICR Committees

Minorities in Cancer Research (MICR) members are encouraged to volunteer for committee service. While we aim to accommodate as many volunteers as possible on each committee, not all volunteers will receive committee placement during this term.

Membership Development Committee

Works to increase and sustain the membership of MICR by identifying appropriate individuals to bring into MICR membership and assisting with efforts to retain existing MICR members.

Minority-serving Institution Faculty Scholar Award Committee
