The American Cancer Society (ACS) is seeking individuals with a strong personal interest in cancer to participate in its research grants peer review process. “Stakeholders,” who have been part of the Society’s grant review process since 1999, provide a unique perspective from the cancer experience to help ensure sound research funding decisions.
Being a Stakeholder requires no formal science or oncology training, but instead a strong personal interest in cancer research based on a personal connection to the disease, such as having had a family member with cancer, having acted as a caregiver, or having had a personal battle with the disease.
