AICR is at the forefront of cancer research. The work of the Scientific Advisory Committee which carries out a rigorous peer review process ensures that only research of the highest calibre is funded, regardless of where it is being carried out in the world.
Our Scientific Advisory Committee is made of eminent cancer specialists who give up their time voluntarily for the twice yearly meetings, to evaluate proposals and make funding decisions on our behalf. After intense scrutiny, we award projects that meet our strict criteria. This ensures that AICR funds only research of the highest quality. Our thanks go to the members of the committee for their time, expertise and enthusiasm.
