The goal of the Asian/Asian American and Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander (AANHPI) Task Force is to propose concrete steps to strengthen the leadership pipeline of AANHPI and Asian cancer scientists and physicians in the AACR and, more broadly, the field of cancer research and care. The AACR is committed to making sure that AANHPI and Asian colleagues are involved in the organization’s initiatives at a substantive level and that there are also leadership opportunities for them in the field of cancer research going forward.
