The mission of the American Cancer Society is to improve the lives of people with cancer and their families through advocacy, research, and patient support, aiming to ensure everyone has the opportunity to prevent, detect, treat, and survive cancer.
The ACS IMPACT Research Professorship in Prostate Cancer is a grant initiative by the American Cancer Society aimed at addressing the public health burden of prostate cancer. The program seeks to fund research designed to reduce mortality and improve outcomes for all, with a focus on reducing cancer mortality among Black men. Specifically targeting applicants with research experience in populations with adequate representation of Black men, the grant offers $80,000 a year for 5 years, with discretionary funds supporting creative projects or ideas. There is an opportunity for renewal after the initial 5-year term.
