AACR Annual Meeting 2025: Special Program for High School Students

The Conquest of Cancer and the Next Generation of Cancer Researchers

The AACR is committed to the education and training of the next generation of able and dedicated cancer researchers and to facilitating and nurturing their careers in cancer research or cancer-related biomedical science. The leadership of the AACR feels strongly that it is important to stimulate excitement and enthusiasm about cancer research at an early stage when young science students are making career decisions. 

The Special Program for High School Students promotes interactions between senior cancer scientists and promising students in order to facilitate the contributions of these students to scientific research and the conquest of cancer. Thanks to our sponsor, Change Our Future, for supporting this mission.
