Researchers
Since awarding its very first research grant more than 25 years ago, AICR has committed itself to making a difference in the study of cancer. We have kept that commitment by funding researchers at leading universities, hospitals and cancer centers throughout the US and abroad.
We fund research about the effects of dietary and nutritional factors on the etiology pathogenesis, prevention and treatment of cancer.

Food, Nutrition, Physical Activity, and the Prevention of Cancer: a Global Perspective (released November 2007) is the largest study of its kind ever published and its recommendations are based on the most up-to-date research available.
Policy and Action for Cancer Prevention (released February 2009), the companion document to our Expert Report, examines the factors that influence behaviors associated with cancer risk and provides comprehensive recommendations for government, industry, and others.
