The AACI Clinical Research Innovation (CRI) Steering Committee, with the assistance of peer reviewers from CRI committees and volunteers, have selected three abstracts from 154 submissions for formal presentation during the 16th Annual AACI CRI Meeting, June 24-26.

Winning abstract authors represent Holden Comprehensive Cancer Center, University of Iowa; UK Markey Cancer Center; and Medical College of Wisconsin Cancer Center.

The three winning abstracts will be presented individually at a session on Tuesday, June 25.

Additionally, the authors of all 154 submissions will have the opportunity to participate in a poster session on Monday, June 24. On behalf of the AACI CRI Steering Committee, we thank all abstract authors for their participation.
