Public Issues Mission: With 86% of all NIH funding going to academic centers, it is important for AACI to closely follow NIH appropriations and reauthorization issues that directly affect AACI members. In 1999, a Public Issues Committee was established to initiate a course of action to promote our members' common interests and goals. More recently, a Government Relations Forum was also created to coordinate efforts among all cancer centers in educating Members of Congress about the cancer research enterprise and its positive impact on patients.
