EDUCATION PART III LINE 4B The American Institute for Cancer Research (AICR) funds innovative research on the roles of food, nutrition, physical activity and weight in cancer risk and survivorship. AICR also continuously interprets the global scientific literature and educates the public about the empowering message that emerges from the research: We can all take small, everyday steps that have been shown to help prevent, and survive, cancer. Research: The Work We Fund AICR was the first organization to devote itself to studying the role of diet and other lifestyle factors in lowering cancer risk. The research we have funded has helped transform a once-radical notion into a universally accepted medical fact. Research is the basis of all programs at AICR. For details of our various research PROGRAMS. Interpretation: Reports and Continuous Updates In 1997 AICR and its international affiliate the World Cancer Resarch Fund published the Expert Report "Food, Nutrition and the Prevention of Cancer: a Global Perspective," which comprehensively assessed the mounting global evidence on nutrition and cancer risk. The report's conclusions were adopted by researchers, health professionals and policy makers, and set a new agenda for cancer research and education in the U.S. and around the world. The field of diet-cancer research continued to grow. In 2007 AICR and its international affiliates published the second Expert Report, "Food, Nutrition, Physical Activity and the Prevention of Cancer: a Global Perspective." It laid out a transparent methodology for evaluating the scientific literature which is now being adopted by researchers studying diet and cancer around the globe. Based on a review of data drawn from approximately 7,000 studies, the expert panel issued 10 Recommendations for Cancer Prevention: 1. Be as lean as possible without becoming underweight. 2. Be physically active for at least 30 minutes every day. 3. Avoid sugary drinks. Limit consumption of energy-dense foods (particularly processed foods high in sugar or low in fiber, or high in fat). 4. Eat more of a variety of vegetables, fruits, whole grains and legumes, such as beans. 5. Limit consumption of red meats, such as beef pork and lamb, and avoid processed meats. 6. If consumed at all, limit alcoholic drinks to 2 for men and 1 for women a day. 7. Limit consumption of salty foods and foods processed with salt (sodium). 8. Don't use supplements to protect against cancer. Special Population Recommendations 9. It's best for mothers to breastfeed exclusively for six months and then add other liquids and foods. 10. After treatment, cancer survivors should follow the recommendations for cancer prevention. And always remember- Do not smoke or chew tobacco. In February 2009 AICR and WCRF published "Policy and Action for Cancer Prevention," an evidence-based report that places our recommendations in a health policy context and provides a roadmap for policymakers, laying out the decisive action needed to reduce cancer rates. In 2010 AICR and the American Public Health Association(APHA)published an executive summary of this policy report offering the US context for cancer-prevention policy. In preparing the Dietary Guidelines for Americans IN 2010, the government advisory committee extensively cited the analyses and conclusions of AICR's expert report; as a result, the US Dietary Guidelines are closely in line with AICR's.
Ongoing Review of the Evidence   Today, this study of lifestyle's role in cancer is growing faster than ever. That's why we established our Continuous Update Project (CUP): To maintain the world's largest database of evidence related to food, nutrition, physical activity and cancer, and to update it on an ongoing basis as relevant new research gets published worldwide. The process of updating the database on a rolling basis is well underway, adding systematic literature reviews of new evidence, cancer site by cancer site. In 2010, the CUP report on breast cancer was published. In 2011, we published the CUP report on colorectal cancer. In 2012, we published the CUP report on pancreatic cancer. Education: AICR's Message AICR's public education programs are evidence-based. This evidence comes from both the research we fund and the conclusions drawn in our expert reports and their updates. We produce materials to meet a wide variety of needs, across all stages of the cancer continuum. AICR Newsletter In FY12, our quarterly newsletter reached almost 3 million households with its practical tips, recipes, profiles of the cutting-edge research made possible by AICR supporters and features showing how to put AICR's recommendations into everyday practice. Each issue is reviewed by an advisory group of clinicians, registered dietitians, recipe developers and cancer researchers. Periodic reader surveys help AICR's editorial staff tailor its content to best suit its audience. In a recent survey, 91 percent of respondents said the AICR Newsletter had helped motivate them to make healthier choices. Brochures and Fact Sheets Developed to place the latest cancer research findings in a clear, easy-to-understand format, AICR brochures, leaflets and fact sheets reach several different audiences with our empowering message. In FY12, we offered nine brochure series: Healthy Living for Cancer Prevention (AICR's Recommendations and Guidelines) The New American Plate (A visual approach to meal-making for lower cancer risk) Homemade for Health (Menus for quick cancer-protective meals) Facts on Preventing Cancer (Answers to common questions) Stopping Cancer (Information on preventing specific cancers) Survivor Series (Evidence-based advice for patients, survivors and caregivers) Watch Your Waist (Tips to prevent obesity, a major cancer cause) Simple Steps for Physical Activity (Practical advice for moving more) Materiales en Espanol (Brochures for Spanish speakers) Individuals order single free copies or download them from the AICR website; health professionals make bulk purchases at significant discounts. AICR also distributes brochures at conferences, events and health fairs. In FY12, AICR distributed nearly half a million brochures. In a recent survey, 93% of readers say they found AICR brochures "very easy" to understand. The same survey showed that 82% said an AICR brochure motivated them to eat healthier food, 75% said they would be more active, and 73% said they would try harder to maintain a healthy weight.
HEALTH AIDS   AICR avails itself of various health aids - including recipe cards, charts, tearsheets, magnets and more - to turn lowering cancer risk into a "hands-on" experience. Individuals order single free copies; health professionals make bulk purchases at significant discounts. AICR also distributes health aids at conferences, events and health fairs. In FY12, AICR distributed over 60,000 health aids. Science Now Newsletter For supporters and health professionals looking for deeper understanding of AICR's cancer research, the quarterly Science Now newsletter examines the study of diet, physical activity and weight in cancer prevention, treatment and survivorship. In FY12, nearly 110,000 people received a copy of Science Now. AICR on the Web AICR's website (www.aicr.org) offers continually updated information on AICR research; healthy, cancer-protective recipes and fitness tips; and a host of interactive tools and resources on the science of lowering cancer risk. IN FY12, AICR's website received over 1.5 million unique visitors per month, almost three times the FY11 amouNT; total pageviews for FY12 topped 5.8 million - more than twice the previous year. Free E-publications AICR has developed a library of e-publications that deliver the latest information on lowering cancer risk straight to subscriber's inboxes. Our e-publications are reviewed by cancer researchers, clinicians, dietitians, and AICR staff. eNews is a monthly e-newsletter emphasizing the "take-home" message: How can I start living for lower cancer risk today? As of September 2012, nearly 400,000 people were subscribed to eNews. Health-e-Recipe is for those looking for ways to bring the research home with quick, easy and delicious cancer-protective meals. All weekly recipes come from AICR's Test Kitchen and follow AICR's guidelines. As of September 2011, Health-e-Recipe had nearly 50,000 subscribers. Those looking to dig deeper into the research can do so by subscribing to Cancer Research Update. This biweekly digest of breaking news and current research in the fight against cancer reaches over 11,000 readers interested in the science of cancer risk, as well as health professionals looking to stay current. Health at Work is a quarterly e-publication that adapts AICR's cancer prevention message to the workplace. By the close of FY12 over 3,200 human resource managers and wellness professionals received AICR's Health at Work. AICR Multimedia The AICR blog (www.aicrblog.org), speaks to supporters; cancer patients, survivors and caregivers; health professionals; the media and the general public. Filled with tips, researcher profiles, recipes from the AICR Test Kitchen, interactive tools for lowering cancer risk, the AICR blog is also a means by which AICR engages in an ongoing discussion about the research, separating cancer myths from cancer facts. The blog received approximately 50,000 pageviews in FY12, a 40% increase over the previous year. On Facebook and Twitter (aicrtweets), AICR posts frequent updates on research, recipes, media statements, features, campaigns and programs. CancerResource Program AICR offers a free kit of advice for newly diagnosed cancer patients and their loved ones. Developed with a team of physicians, nurses, dietitians, psychologists and cancer patients, CancerResource lays out information patients need, including Questions to Ask Your Doctor, Treatment Options, Where to Find Help, Nutrition During Treatment, and much more. Four prepared CancerResource packets are available, for cancers of the breast, lung, prostate and colon, but AICR staff can also create customized packets for any cancer. Requests for each packet are filled immediately, to get this vital information to those who need it as quickly as possible. Food for the Fight DVD To provide cancer patients, survivors and caregivers with comprehensive yet easy-to-use information, AICR partnered with New York-Presbyterian Hospital to produce this 2-part, 57-minute DVD. Many hospitals and cancer centers now play AICR's Food for the Fight DVD in their treatment rooms, while others give it to patients so they can watch it at home at their leisure, and share its vital information with their loved ones. AICR Health Professionals Program To help get AICR's message into the hands of those who need it, we offer health professionals our materials at a significant discount. With the AICR Health Education catalog, which reached almost 160,000 dietitians, nurses, doctors, health educators, and community groups in FY12, HPs can avail themselves of special discounts on bulk purchases. The AICR Health Education Catalog also allows HPs to stay current with the new toolkits, tearsheets, brochures and health aids AICR offers. AICR Health Professional and Educator eCommunity AICR's HPE eCommunity provides an online destination for health professionals, featuring a wealth of interactive tools, web chats, AICR In-Depth background papers, one-sheet Q-and-A's, practical evidence-based advice for patients and clients and special discounts on bulk purchases. In FY12, AICR's eCommunity helped over 1,500 active members at hospitals, clincics, cancer centers, UNIVERSITIES and Departments of Health connect with AICR - and with one another.
Toll-Free Phone Services   Via AICR's toll-free number, 1-800-843-8114, members of the public can order brochures and health aids, request a free CancerResource toolkit for cancer patients, get advice from a registered dietitian (via AICR's "Nutrition Hotline") and much more. In FY12, approximately 150,000 individuals contacted AICR via the toll-free number. Professional Publications AICR reaches out to the medical, scientific and health policy communities with our expert reports, policy report and other media. In FY12, nearly 1,000 individuals at non-profit, private and public health organizations, government agencies and Boards of Health, hospitals and research centers ordered our professional publications. The New American Plate Cookbook To place AICR's message about lowering cancer risk in a comprehensive and handsomely produced format, AICR's New American Plate Cookbook (published by the University of California Press) is available in bookstores. Over 50,000 copies have been sold, and all royalties support AICR cancer research. Seminars, Exhibits and Conferences In FY12, AICR Education staff attended, exhibited, networked and distributed materials at various conferences and annual meetings, including: American Dietetic Association American College of Sports Medicine American Academy of Nurse Practitioners Oncology Nursing Society Regional Survivorship Group Media Programs Press Releases In FY12, AICR distributed 21 press releases, statements, features and advisories distributed to its media contacts on a host of topics ranging from newly published research to practical, hands-on tips for moving more, staying lean and eating smart. As a result, US media outlets carried AICR news items nearly 5,500 times during FY12. Over 80 million Americans read about AICR's message in their newspapers, another 120 million read about AICR in magazines, and web outlets that carried AICR messages reached a combined audience of 1.5 billion. The total number of impressions AICR's message made on the American population through the media in FY12 was 1.6 billion. AICR Health Features Program Every month, AICR provides ready-to-use content to small (<20,000 circulation) media outlets as newspaper columns featuring AICR's cancer-prevention message. Columns include AICR Healthtalk (a question-and-answer column) and two recipe columns (From the AICR Test Kitchen.) In FY12, over 650 media outlets were subscribed.
RESEARCH PART III LINE 4B RESEARCH PROGRAMS Scientific study of the relationship of diet, physical activity, and weight management to cancer risk and survivorship continues to be one of the most promising areas of cancer research. A growing body of evidence shows that food, nutrition, and physical activity play important roles in the cancer process and in cancer survivorship. Research now indicates that about one-third of some of the most common cancers could be prevented by appropriate food, nutrition, weight management, and physical activity. The American Institute for Cancer Research (AICR) pioneered the funding of research on diet and cancer. In total through FY12 the Institute has committed over $96 million for hundreds of individual research projects at universities, hospitals and research centers worldwide. AICR is one of the largest non-government funding sources for peer-reviewed research projects on diet, nutrition and cancer. AICR Annual Research Conference Starting in 1990, AICR has hosted an annual research conference to facilitate the exchange of ideas and information and to encourage constructive debate on timely diet and cancer research topics. The conference provides a forum for researchers, scientists, medical and health professionals, and others to present and discuss their work. The November 2011 conference included scientific sessions on the role of various types of evidence in moving forward diet and cancer research; omega-three fats and their possible role in cancer prevention; the effect of calorie restriction on the cancer process; nutrition as it relates to cancer treatment and survivorship; and vitamin D and cancer. AICR also participates in a variety of meetings, seminars, symposiums and conferences throughout the course of the year. Marilyn Gentry Fellowships at UNC AICR has created the Marilyn Gentry Fellowship Program in Nutrition and Cancer at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill to develop tomorrow's leaders in nutrition research in relation to cancer. Fellows receive two years of organized mentoring while conducting their research projects. They develop a body of data that will help them compete successfully for grant funding in the future. This program has produced several graduates who have entered the nutrition-cancer field. AICR has also funded a Distinguished Professorship at UNC to chair this program. In addition, the AICR-WCRF Institute for the Advanced Study of Diet, Nutrition and Cancer is housed within the Michael Hooker Research Center on the UNC campus. These facilities include three laboratories dedicated to researching the role of diet and nutrition in the causation, prevention, and treatment of cancer.
Research Grant Program   Through its research grant program, the Institute has encouraged innovative research in cancer prevention, treatment, and survivorship. AICR's research grants have brought millions of dollars to this important field, and have helped attract and train new research talent. AICR's research grant programs support the innovative study of nutrition and cancer. Research grants are peer-reviewed and awarded on an open, competitive basis. Investigator Initiated Grants The core of the Institute's grant programs is the Investigator Initiated Grant Program, which provides up to $75,000 per year (plus 10% for administrative overhead) for a maximum of three years, for research projects in the areas of cancer prevention, treatment, and survivorship. This program has been instrumental in advancing research into diet, physical activity and weight management as they relate to cancer, and has led to hundreds of articles in peer reviewed scientific publications. Matching Grants The Institute's Matching Grants Program is designed to fund high-quality, peer-reviewed research on diet and nutrition that meets the objectives of AICR and potential matching funders. Matching funds may come from corporations or individuals. Research grant applications within this program receive the same scrupulous peer-review as any other research grant proposal. AICR Grant Review Panels All research grant applications undergo a peer review process modeled after the grant review process developed by the National Institutes of Health. AICR's grant review process is one of only a few in the nation that meet the standards of the National Cancer Institute. All research grant applications are assigned for review to one of two AICR Grant Review Panels. Panel I focuses on grant proposals in the area of diet, nutrition, physical activity, weight management and cancer prevention. Panel II focuses on proposals in the area of diet, nutrition, physical activity, weight management and cancer treatment and survivorship. The Panels review applications for their scientific merit; the qualifications, experience and productivity of the investigators; the facilities available; and the promise for elucidating the roles of food, nutrition, physical activity and weight management in cancer prevention, treatment, and survivorship. The review process is strictly controlled, including procedures to avoid potential conflicts of interest. Members of the panels are selected for their research expertise and their ability to bring a wide scope of scientific experience to the review process. In addition to the regular members of the panels, additional researchers may be added for particular review sessions if a special area of expertise is required. RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE GRANT REVIEW PANELS ARE FORWARDED TO THE AICR BOARD OF DIRECTORS, WHICH MAKES THE FINAL DECISIONS ON GRANT AWARDS. THE GRANTS AWARDED IN FY2012 WERE REVIEWED BY:
