Minorities in Cancer Research (MICR) – a membership group within AACR – is working to increase the number, participation, visibility and recognition of minority scientists in cancer research. The AACR Minority-Serving Institution Faculty Awards are one of several programs sponsored by MICR in support of its mission. These awards are generously supported by the National Cancer Institute Center to Reduce Cancer Health Disparities. Minority-Serving Institution Faculty Scholar in Cancer Research Awards are intended to increase the scientific knowledge base of faculty members at minority-serving institutions, to encourage them in their research and to assist in inspiring their students to pursue careers in cancer research. These awards are available to full-time faculty members of minority-serving institutions (as defined by the U.S. Department of Education) who are scientists at the level of assistant professor or above and who are engaged in meritorious basic, clinical, translational or epidemiological cancer research. Only citizens or permanent residents of the United States or Canada may receive one of these awards.
