AACI works on behalf of North America's leading cancer centers to advocate for robust, stable federal investment in the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the National Cancer Institute (NCI).
The AACI Government Relations department coordinates efforts among cancer centers to educate local officials and members of Congress about the cancer research enterprise and the positive impact of cancer center initiatives on patients.
Participation in AACI government relations activities is open to AACI members only.
Last summer, the House Committee on Energy and Commerce released a proposal that outlined a series of substantial reforms and changes to the operations of the NIH. AACI responded to the proposal, reiterating the importance of the NIH and the NCI’s work.
