AICR Grant Programs

Research Saves Lives

AICR funds research that focuses on the intersection of diet, weight, physical activity, and cancer risk. By offering grants for basic, translational and clinical research to scientists and clinicians at various career levels, AICR seeks to expand the global understanding of cancer, improve cancer care, and ultimately, realize our vision of a world where no one develops a preventable cancer.

Research Funded

We are committed to funding the strongest projects investigating the links between diet, physical activity, body composition and cancer.

Grant Panel

Each year we assemble a highly qualified panel of independent expert peer reviewers to review the grant applications for that cycle, to ensure that we fund only the strongest applications with the greatest potential to answer the most critical research questions in the field of diet, nutrition, physical activity and cancer.

Research Process

AICR’s Grant Program is dedicated to funding research on cancer prevention, treatment and survival related to diet, nutrition, body composition and physical activity.  Our grants are awarded through a rigorous review process of expert peer review.  We consider each grant that we fund to be an investment in the future of cancer research, improvement in cancer prevention and towards better outcomes for cancer patients.   We are committed to supporting researchers and healthcare professionals, and to ensure that research can help families, patients and communities.
