The Association of American Cancer Institutes (AACI) and American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) annual Hill Day will take place in Washington, DC, on Thursday, May 22.
Your participation in Hill Day is crucial to sharing our message with our legislators in Washington: that stable, predictable funds for the National Institutes of Health and National Cancer Institute are critical for advancing cancer research and care at our nation’s cancer centers.
AACI is encouraging each cancer center to send at least one representative to Washington to advocate on your center’s behalf. If you are unable to attend, a scientist, administrator, public relations staffer, government relations representative, or patient advocate who has benefited from care at your cancer center would be an excellent representative for your institution.
The AACI Hill Day Scholarship was established to reduce financial barriers for patient advocates interested in attending Hill Day. The 2025 scholarship application period is now closed.
Please note: AACI reserves the right to rescind the award if the recipient cancels their Hill Day travel and/or meetings less than one week before the event (May 15, 2025).
