MICR at the Annual Meeting

MICR is pleased to present several activities during each AACR Annual Meeting.

We are pleased to provide Meeting attendees with the MICR Networking and Resource Center. The Center offers meeting attendees with a comfortable environment to network one-on-one and in small groups while learning about AACR and MICR programs as well MICR membership and committee service opportunities.  

The MICR Forum provides useful tools and information to support the professional development of minority cancer researchers.  Specific topics include funding, training, mentoring, etc.

The MICR Town Meeting provides an opportunity for the MICR Council to present its members, agenda, and programs to AACR members and annual meeting participants. This meeting plans to give participants a chance to share ideas, voice concerns, and express views on a variety of related topics.

The MICR Professional Advancement Reception and Roundtable is a program designed for investigators at all levels, but particularly early-career investigators, to explore career options and issues affecting professional advancement and development through small informal discussions with senior researchers.

To inform the cancer research community about cancer issues related to race/ethnicity and/or provide a platform for minority scientists to present their work with discussion and debate, the MICR Scientific Symposium is presented during the AACR Annual Meeting.  

MICR is also pleased to offer Lectureships and Awards. These programs include the AACR-MICR Annual Jane Cooke Wright Lectureship, the AACR Minority-Serving Institution Faculty Scholar Awards in Cancer Research, as well as the AACR Minority Scholar in Cancer Research Awards.
