AACR-MICR Distinguished Lectureship entitled, “The Science of Health Disparities: Integrating Genomics, Ethics, and Behavioral Research”
The AACR-MICR Distinguished Lectureship Series (DLS) invites leading researchers to provide scientific presentations to faculty and students of Minority-Serving Institutions (MSIs), to bring the latest science directly to teachers and students at their campuses. The goal of the DLS is to provide outreach that inspires young minority students and Minority-Serving Institution educators to pursue careers in cancer research. Your audience will consist of approximately 100 students and faculty from Morgan State University and Johns Hopkins University.

MICR Professional Advancement Session “Becoming an Independent & Competitive Cancer Disparities Researcher: Navigating Todays Environment”
The purpose of the Professional Advancement Session is to provide strategies, practical advice for National Cancer Institute (NCI) funding opportunities, and beyond, for investigators seeking research independence in an increasingly complex environment for these important efforts. This forum will foster interactive discussions and offer strategies for trainees and early-stage investigators (ESIs) to navigate a career in cancer disparities research. Topics will span multidisciplinary research areas and focus on promoting workforce diversity. Specific areas of focus will include highlighting relevant funding opportunities and how to navigate traditional and new funding mechanisms, showcasing resources for developing competitive applications, providing grantsmanship tips, and reinforcing the importance of networking. Presenters will review fundamentals of success, as well as provide innovative approaches and tailored information for every career level and discipline.
