Mission
Since its founding in 1982, the American Institute for Cancer Research (AICR) has grown into the nation's leading charity in the field of diet, nutrition and cancer. AICR supports research into the role of diet and nutrition in the prevention and treatment of cancer. It also offers a wide range of cancer prevention education programs. With the diet-cancer link clearly established, AICR has continued to carry out its dual mission: it sponsors research that will generate further knowledge and produces educational programs and materials concerning its diet and lifestyle guidelines. To date, the Institute has committed more than $78 million for research related to diet and cancer. In addition, AICR has established a wide range of education programs to bring its message of cancer prevention to millions of Americans.
