The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has dramatically made the scientific community aware of the public need to understand and trust the fruits of science. Considering this societal challenge, the AACR formed the Trust in Science Task Force to catalyze efforts to build trust in science. The AACR is committed to creating an ecosystem of shared value through collective impact that aims to improve cancer research and care by developing policies and practices that promote societal trust in science and cultivates diversity as an ethos of the AACR.
