AACI works on behalf of North America's leading cancer centers to advocate for federal funding for 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.
Patient navigation has become an essential piece of the health care puzzle, particularly in the United States, where it plays a pivotal role in bridging the gaps in health care accessibility and affordability.
