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.
AACI urges Congress to pass the Clinical Trial Modernization Act (S. 4440). The bipartisan bill would enable clinical trial sponsors to cover costs associated with trial participation, including copays, travel, food, and lodging; and provide patients with technology to allow them to participate remotely in clinical trials.
