AACR MINORITY SCHOLAR AWARDS IN CANCER RESEARCH
The AACR is pleased to administer this important award program that is supported by a generous grant from the Comprehensive Minority Biomedical Branch of the National Cancer Institute and provides funds for the participation of meritorious minority scientists in this conference (domestic only). These awards are intended to enhance the education and training of minority researchers and to increase the visibility and recognition of minorities involved in cancer research. Eligible scientists are full-time predoctoral (graduate or medical) students or residents, clinical or postdoctoral fellows, and junior faculty who are either engaged in cancer research or who have the training and potential to make contributions in this field. This program applies only to minority groups that have been identified by the National Cancer Institute as being traditionally underrepresented in cancer and biomedical research. These groups are African American/Black, Alaskan Native, Hispanic American, Native American, and Native Pacific Islander. Only citizens of the United States or Canada or scientists who are permanent residents of these countries may receive one of these awards.
