Thank you, Liz and George, for highlighting the critical value of federal funding for cancer research. I encourage everyone to contact their representatives and urge continued bipartisan support for the NCI.
AACR Past President and #AACRFellows @DrLizJaffee, @AACI_Cancer Past President and AACR member Dr. George Weiner, and #AACRFellows Dr. Steven Rosenberg spoke with @CBSSunday about the devastating impact of NIH cuts on cancer research.

Patients depend on a constant stream of new treatment options to help them stay ahead of their cancers. It is critical that we ask Congress to maintain that momentum by preserving the nation’s investment in innovation and fully funding NIH:.
Vicki Jones has lived with her multiple myeloma diagnosis for 20 years because progress in cancer research has outpaced progression of her disease. Act now to sustain the pace of progress; call on Congress to reject the President’s proposed cuts to NIH:.

Federally-funded biomedical research drives progress against a wide range of diseases—including cancer—and safeguards the nation’s health. It is critical that we all ask our representatives in Congress to support funding for NIH.
At #AACR25, AACR Past President Patricia LoRusso discussed remarkable recent progress against cancer and how that progress is under threat. Join her in asking Congress to reject the President’s FY26 budget and preserve the nation’s investment in NIH: .

The nation’s longstanding, bipartisan support of medical research is an investment in innovation that has saved, extended, and enhanced the lives of millions of Americans. We ask Congress to continue to support the NIH and sustain the pace of progress.
A recent Washington Post-ABC News-Ipsos poll of 2,464 Americans showed that 77% oppose cutting federal funding for medical research. Join them in calling on Congress to reject the administration’s FY26 budget and preserve the nation’s investment in NIH: .

For decades, NIH has been the nation’s cornerstone of medical research, driving discoveries that have led to groundbreaking treatments, increased survival rates, and enhanced quality of life for patients. @AACR will continue to urge Congress to support this critical institution.
From the dismissal of dedicated scientists to proposed funding cuts, the cancer research community faces unprecedented challenges. AACR is working to defend science, preserve NIH investments in cancer research, and advocate for all patients. Learn more: .

One of the benefits of the Pezcoller award ceremony events is the opportunity for the next generation of cancer scientists to engage with the current leaders in the field. We are grateful to the University of Padua and the @Pezcoller Foundation for their hospitality.
#AACRFellows Douglas Hanahan will receive the @Pezcoller-AACR Award for Extraordinary Achievement in Cancer Research in a ceremony in Trento, Italy on Saturday. As part of the festivities, he delivered a lecture at the University of Padua and met with some of the students there.

In 1907, the founding members of the @AACR were based in the United States. Today, with members in 142 countries and territories, the AACR is a global organization that is dedicated to eradicating the global scourge of cancer.
On May 7, 1907, 11 prominent scientists met in Washington, DC, and founded the AACR “to further the investigation and spread the knowledge of cancer.” Today, the AACR’s 59,000 members remain committed to our mission to prevent and cure all cancers.

We must continue to address the ravages of cancer in all its forms. Unfortunately, the Administration's proposed budget would seriously impede the pace of progress we are making to save the lives of cancer patients.

We are making tremendous strides in preventing and treating cancer due to decades of dedicated efforts by lawmakers, policymakers, cancer researchers, physician-scientists, and patient advocates. Continued investment is needed to sustain these critical advances.
Today, the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) called on Congress to reject the Administration's nearly 40% cut to the @NIH budget and allocate a bipartisan funding increase to $51.3 billion for the agency to accelerate progress for patients.
