Register for the 2020 AACI/AACR Hill Day
Registration is now open for the AACI/AACR Hill Day on Wednesday, May 13 in Washington, DC.
Hill Day will bring cancer center directors, researchers, physician-scientists, cancer survivors, and other advocates to Capitol Hill to build support for a strong federal investment in biomedical research—and cancer research in particular—through the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the National Cancer Institute (NCI). AACI is encouraging its U.S. members to send at least one representative to Washington to advocate on your center’s behalf. All faculty and staff of AACI cancer centers are invited to attend.
Participation in Hill Day is critical to sharing our message with legislators: that stable, predictable funding increases are essential to advancing research and care at our nation’s cancer centers. Your visit to Washington will underscore the value of a bipartisan commitment to cancer research in saving and improving millions of lives touched by cancer.
For your convenience, a room block has been reserved at the Hyatt House Washington DC/The Wharf, located less than two miles from the House and Senate office buildings.
If you have any questions, please contact AACI Government Relations Manager Jaren Love at 412-647-2076.
