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 AACR Conference.
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.
A separate application is required to be considered for this award. To apply for a Minority Scholar Award, download an application below and mail the completed application and support materials to: AACR Minority Scholar Awards Program, AACR, 615 Chestnut Street, 17th Floor, Philadelphia, PA 19106-4404. Applications and support materials must be received in the AACR Office by December 8. There is no assurance that applicant materials received after the deadline will be reviewed by the Award Selection Committee.

The AACR offers awards in cancer research for full-time faculty of Minority-Serving Institutions ((Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSIs), and Tribal Colleges and Universities) who are scientists at the Assistant Professor level or above. The AACR Minority-Serving Institution Faculty Scholar Awards in Cancer Research program is supported by a generous grant from the Comprehensive Minority Biomedical Branch of the National Cancer Institute. The purpose of this award program is 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.
