2025 AACI/AACR Hill Day Resources

The 2025 AACI/AACR 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 (NIH) and National Cancer Institute (NCI) are critical for advancing cancer research and care at our nation’s cancer centers.

Join us in calling on Congress to provide significant funding increases for the NIH and NCI in fiscal year (FY) 2026. We ask Congress to provide at least $51.3 billion for NIH and $7.934 billion for NCI in FY 2026, consistent with longstanding bipartisan recommendations.

We also encourage you to join the conversation on social media using the hashtags #AACIOnTheHill, #AACROnTheHill, #FundNIH, and #FundNCI. Thank you for your advocacy!
