The American Cancer Society (ACS) Research Professor and
Clinical Research Professor Awards are the most prestigious research grants made by our national program. The grant provides funding for 5 years and may be renewed once. The title can be used throughout the remainder of the scientist's career.
Researchers are selected for ACS professorships based on their history of pioneering, influential work that’s continuing to change the direction of cancer research and on their track record of mentoring people who have become successful in cancer research.
As an ACS Research Professor, they're expected to have leadership roles in the cancer research community, including being spokespeople for the American Cancer Society.
