Part III, Line 4a - Education EDUCATION PROGRAMS The American Institute for Cancer Research (AICR) champions the latest and most authoritative scientific research on cancer prevention and survival through diet, weight and physical activity so that we can help people make informed lifestyle choices to reduce their risk. We want to live in a world where no one develops a preventable cancer. Education: AICRs Message AICRs education programs are evidence-based. This evidence comes from both the research we fund and the conclusions drawn in our scientific reports. From their findings we produce educational materials to meet a wide variety of needs, across all stages of the cancer continuum. AICR Newsletter In FY16, AICR distributed almost 2.2 million copies of its newsletter to supporters. Each quarterly issue is filled with practical tips, recipes, profiles of the cutting-edge research made possible by AICR supporters. Each issue is reviewed by an advisory group of clinicians, registered dietitians, recipe developers and cancer researchers. 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 offer many different audiences our empowering message. In FY16, we offered seven brochure series: * Healthy Living for Cancer Prevention (AICRs Recommendations and Guidelines) * The New American Plate (A visual approach to meal-making for lower cancer risk) * Facts on Preventing Cancer (Answers to common questions) * Stopping Cancer (Information on preventing specific cancers) * Cancer Survivor Series (Evidence-based advice for patients, survivors and caregivers) * Healthy Eating Anytime (Tips to prevent obesity, a major cancer cause) * Simple Steps for Physical Activity (Practical advice for moving more) * Also: Materiales en Espanol (Brochures for Spanish speakers) Individuals order single free copies or download them from the AICR website; health professionals and medical centers (hospitals, cancer clinics etc.) make bulk purchases at significant discounts. AICR also distributes brochures at conferences, events and health fairs. In FY16, AICR distributed over 90,000 brochures. Health Aids AICR produces 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 and medical centers (hospitals, cancer clinics etc.) make bulk purchases at significant discounts. AICR also distributes health aids at conferences, events and health fairs. In FY16, AICR distributed almost 20,000 health aids. Science Now Newsletter For supporters and health professionals looking for deeper understanding of AICRs cancer research, the quarterly Science Now newsletter examines the study of diet, physical activity and weight in cancer prevention, treatment and survivorship. In FY16, nearly 71,000 copies of Science Now were distributed to supporters. AICR on the Web AICRs 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 FY16, AICRs website received over 1.2 million unique visitors; total page views for FY16 exceeded 3.5 million. A section on "AICR's Impact" outlines results from independently conducted scientific studies that are now putting AICRs Recommendations For Cancer Prevention to the test. These studies consistently demonstrate that following AICR Recommendations protect against cancer, reduce all-cause mortality and for cancer survivors improve quality of life. Free E-publications AICR has developed a library of e-publications that deliver the latest information on lowering cancer risk straight to subscribers 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 2016, over 252,000 people 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 AICRs Test Kitchen and follow AICRs guidelines. As of September 2016, Health-e-Recipe had over 37,000 subscribers. Those looking to dig deeper into the research can do so by subscribing to Cancer Research Update. At the close of FY16, this biweekly digest of breaking news and current research in the fight against cancer reached over 25,000 readers interested in the science of cancer risk, as well as health professionals looking to stay current. Health at Work is aimed at wellness and HR professionals, looking for information to use in their work place. This e-publication goes to 14,000 subscribers. AICR Multimedia The AICR blog (blog.aicr.org), speaks to supporters; cancer patients, survivors and caregivers; health professionals; the media and the general public. The AICR blog is a means by which AICR engages in an ongoing discussion about the research, separating cancer myths from cancer facts. It is where we share our take on the current news and encourage readers to post comments. In FY16, the AICR blog received over 121,000 unique visitors and nearly 195,000 page views. Facebook and Twitter (@aicrtweets)are important vehicles for AICR to share our message with new and wider audiences. AICR posts frequent updates on research, recipes, media statements, features, campaigns and programs. At the end of FY16, over 4,200 individuals and organizations followed AICR on Twitter, and they frequently share our content with their social media circles; in an average month, 75,000 to 100,000 see our tweets. The AICR Facebook page had nearly 16,000 followers at the close of FY16, a 33% increase over the prior year. In an average month, over 2,500 individuals engage with our Facebook content. CAN PREVENT Awareness Campaign In February 2016, AICR ran their second annual awareness campaign CANcer PREVENTion: Together We Can - to show Americans how they can reduce their cancer risk. An animated Public Service Announcement (PSA) directed viewers to visit the campaigns website(prevent50.org) to download a day-by-day planner with activities for lowering risk, and to share the sites interactive content with their social networks. As of September 2016, the PSA aired on 19 national networks (including TNT, Bravo, ESPN, CNN, CNN Airport, Golf, FOX News and Discovery) and over 270 stations. The PSA averaged 5,000 airings per month. Of the 1300 PSAs on the air in 2015, it was the 20th-most-watched. The estimated media value of this PSA the amount of money AICR would have otherwise had to spend on advertising to reach the number of Americans this PSA reached since its launch in 2014 -- is over $83 million. Over 50,000 unique visitors came to the campaigns website and over 5,000 inidivuals downloaded the monthly planner in February alone. The campaign generated press coverage by the New York Daily News, Healthline, Newsmax, Newswire, HealthDay, MSN.com, WebMD and many more national and local outlets. A new element of the campaign in FY2016 was outreach to partners. 30 cancer and health related organizations joined AICR for the campaign in February and shared the message of cancer prevention throughout their communities.
Part III, Line 4a - Education New American Plate Challenge Awareness is not enough. AICR's evidence-based materials help people learn about what they can do to protect themselves from cancer, but we also need to supply them with tools that support the kind of real, lasting behavior change that leads to lower risk. The New American Plate Challenge is one such tool: a free, web-based program for the public, consisting of a series of weekly emails and reminders that issue specific goal-oriented challenges related to AICRs Recommendations. Participants engage in the weekly challenges, and can track their diet, activity and weight loss on the challenge website. They can also join and participate in a private, members only Facebook group to give and get support from each other and NAP challenge dietitians. An average of 2,000 people sign up for this innovative program each time it is offered, and the NAPC webpages (www.napchallenged.org) have received over 380,000 visits. New American Plate Challenge for Older Adults After 13 Senior Centers in Pennsylvania tested, a 12-week healthy living curriculum adapted from the online New American Plate Challenge, AICR used program outcome data and survey analyses to develop a comprehensive curriculum called the New American Plate Challenge for Older Adults. This product is under final stages of design and review and will be made available to dietITIANS and nutrition health professionals as a downloadable ready to deliver curriculum in AICR's online store. The program includes evidence background, program overview, complete lesson plans, handouts, evaluation tools and promotional materials. 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. Hundreds of hospitals and cancer centers now play AICRs 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 AICRs message into the hands of those who need it, we offer health professionals(HPs)our materials at a significant discount. With the AICR Health Education catalog, which reached over 50,000 dietitians, nurses, doctors, health educators, and community groups in FY16, 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 AICRs HP Community provides an online destination for health professionals, featuring a wealth of interactive tools, continuing education opportunities,practical evidence-based resources for patients and clients, and special discounts on bulk purchases. In FY16, AICR sent monthly research and practice updates to these 4,600 plus active members (dietitians, nurses, health educators, physicians, researchers, wellness professionals and others) so members could connect with AICR and with each other - at hospitals, clinics, cancer centers, universities and Departments of Health. Culinary Translation Workshop AICR partners with Smith Center for Healing and the Arts to offer a two-day culinary translation in cancer care workshop. It is designed to train Registered Dietitans and Culinary Professionals in the basic art and science of oncology culinary translation. Participants learn food preparation techniques to create therapeutic meals for cancer patients and survivors. Toll-Free Phone Services Via AICRs 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 AICRs "Nutrition Hotline") and much more. Professional Publications AICR reaches out to the medical, scientific and health policy communities with our expert reports, policy report and other media. In FY16, nearly 1,000 individuals at non-profit, private and public health organizations, government agencies and Boards of Health, hospitals and research centers received our CUP Reports and other professional publications. We provided copies of the Stomach Cancer CUP report for the Annual Gastric Conference and copies of the Esophageal Cancer CUP report for the Alcohol Policy Alliance. The New American Plate Cookbook To place AICRs message about lowering cancer risk in a comprehensive and handsomely produced format, AICRs New American Plate Cookbook (published by the University of California Press) is available in bookstores. Over 33,000 copies have been sold, and all royalties support AICR cancer research. THE AICR/C-CAP Recipe Contest AICR partners with C-CAP, a program that teaches culinary skills to underserved youth and helps them launch careers in hospitality and the culinary arts. Over 2,000 students participate in an annual recipe contest to create and prepare delicious, healthy offerings according to AICR cancer prevention guidelines and win scholarships totaling $10,000. By instilling messages about cancer prevention in a new generation of culinary professionals today, AICR is working to make dining out healthier. Healthy Kids Today, Prevent Cancer Tomorrow AICR also partners with Superkids Nutrition, a provider of reliable nutrition information and tools whose materials are used by over 5,000 schools in 40 states, on an education program aimed at kids, parents and teachers. The AICR Healthy Kids Today mini-site http://www.aicr.org/can-prevent/healthy-kids/ features downloadable toolkits that help instill healthy habits linked to lower cancer risk. Each toolkit features activities, recipes, and a lesson plan for teachers. We received over 10,000 page views on these web pages during FY 2016. A monthly e-publication, Healthy Kids Today goes out to 2,000 subscribers.

Combined, the total reach of AICRs media program in 2016 exceeded 3.6 billion impressions.
Part III, Line 4a - Education AICR Health Features Program Every month, AICR provides ready-to-use content to small (<20,000 circulation) media outlets that feature AICRs cancer-prevention message. Columns include AICR Healthtalk (a question-and-answer column) and two recipe columns (From the AICR Test Kitchen). In FY16, over 500 media outlets were subscribed.
Part III, Line 4b - Research RESEARCH PROGRAMS Research: The Work We Fund Scientific study of the relationship of diet, physical activity, and weight management to cancer risk and survivorship continues to be an important area of cancer research. Evidence shows that weight management, physical activity, food, and nutrition play important roles in cancer prevention, treatment, and survivorship. Research shows that nearly half of all cancers could be prevented if no one used tobacco products, everyone was a healthy weight, and everyone followed guidelines for regular physical activity and a healthy diet. In total through FY16, AICR has committed over $ 110 million for hundreds of individual research projects at universities, hospitals and research centers throughout the United States and the world. The American Institute for Cancer Research (AICR) pioneered the funding of research examining diet and cancer and 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 the once-radical notion that everyday choices can dramatically reduce cancer risk into a universally accepted medical fact. Interpretation: Reports and Continuous Updates In 2007, AICR and its international affiliates in the World Cancer Research Fund (WCRF) global network published our Second Expert Report, which built on the conclusions of our 1997 Expert Report. The Second Expert Report laid out a transparent methodology for evaluating the scientific literature which has since been 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. Dont use supplements to protect against cancer. 9. Special Population Recommendations 1. Its best for mothers to breastfeed exclusively for six months and then add other liquids and foods. 2. After treatment, cancer survivors should follow the recommendations for cancer prevention. And always remember- Do not smoke or chew tobacco. AICR and WCRF subsequently published "Policy and Action for Cancer Prevention," an evidence-based report that places our Recommendations in a health policy context. AICR and the American Public Health Association (APHA) published an executive summary of this policy report. In 2015, the U.S. Dietary Guidelines for Americans official government advisory committee extensively cited the analyses and conclusions of AICRs reports; as a result, the latest U.S. Dietary Guidelines are closely in line with AICR Recommendations. Ongoing Review of the Evidence The study of lifestyles role in cancer is growing faster than ever. As the U.S. member in a global network of cancer charities, we work in partnership to conduct an ongoing analysis of scientific research into the links between diet, physical activity, weight and cancer. This is called the Continuous Update Project (CUP). The process of updating the CUP on a rolling basis is well underway, adding systematic literature reviews of new evidence, cancer site by cancer site. As of the end of FY16, we have published CUP Reports covering: * Breast Cancer: 2009 * Colorectal Cancer: 2011 * Pancreatic Cancer: 2012 * Endometrial Cancer: 2013 * Prostate Cancer: 2014 * Ovarian Cancer: 2014 * Breast Cancer Survivorship: 2014 * Liver Cancer: 2015 * Gallbladder Cancer: 2015 * Kidney Cancer: 2015 * Bladder Cancer: 2015 * Stomach Cancer: 2016 * Esophageal Cancer: 2016 CUP Reports on cancers of the lung, mouth, throat and cervix and skin are due to be published in FY17. All of these data will be fed into the process that will lead to updated Recommendations for Cancer Prevention, scheduled for the end of 2017. AICR Annual Research Conference Starting in 1990, AICR has hosted research conferences to encourage and facilitate the exchange of ideas and information and to provide a forum for constructive debate on timely diet and cancer research topics. The conference provides a venue for researchers, scientists, medical and health professionals, and others to present and discuss their work. Planning for AICRs 25th research conference took place throughout the year, and the conference will be held on November 14-16 at the Marriott Bethesda North Hotel & Conference Center in Bethesda, Maryland. The conference will include scientific sessions on energy balance, obesity, physical activity and cancer; dietary supplements and cancer; modulation of the microbiome and cancer risk; nutrition after cancer diagnosis; mechanisms and biomarkers in the omics era; social, cultural and economic barriers to cancer prevention and control; food, nutrition and cancer immunology; dietary patters and cancer; and diet, nutrition, physical activity and cancer: science and translation for the next 25 years. The scientific program for the conference is being planned by the AICR Conference Program Committee, made up of the following individuals: Steven K. Clinton, MD, PhD (Chair) The Ohio State University Columbus, Ohio Robert S. Chapkin, PhD Texas A&M University College Station, Texas Cindy D. Davis, PhD Office of Dietary Supplements National Institutes of Health Bethesda, Maryland Wendy Demark-Wahnefried, PhD, RD University of Alabama Comprehensive Cancer Center Birmingham, Alabama Susan Higginbotham, PhD, RD American Institute for Cancer Research Washington, DC Stephen D. Hursting, PhD, MPH University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Chapel Hill, North Carolina Anne McTiernan, MD, PhD Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center Seattle, Washington Cheryl L. Rock, PhD, RD University of California, San Diego, School of Medicine San Diego, California AICR also participates in a variety of meetings, seminars, symposiums and conferences throughout the course of the year. Marilyn Gentry Fellowships at UNC The AICR Marilyn Gentry Fellowship Program in Nutrition and Cancer at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill was created to develop tomorrows leaders in nutrition research in relation to cancer. Fellows receive two years of organized mentoring while planning and conducting research. 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, AICR has encouraged innovative research in cancer prevention, treatment, and survivorship. AICRs research grants have brought millions of dollars to this important field, and have helped attract and train new research talent. AICRs research grant programs support the innovative study of nutrition and cancer. Research grants are peer-reviewed and awarded on an open, competitive basis. The focus and scope of AICRs research grant program is being revised and updated. A new call-for-applications for investigator-initiated grants will be issued during FY 2017.
Part III, Line 4b - Research AICR Grant Review Panels All investigator-initiated research grant applications undergo a peer review process modeled after the grant review process developed by the National Institutes of Health. The AICR Grant 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. Peer reviewers are selected for their research expertise and their ability to bring a wide scope of scientific experience to the review process. Recommendations of the Grant Review Panels are forwarded to the AICR Board of Directors, which makes the final decisions on grant awards. Matching Grant Program The AICRs 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. Discretionary Grant Program AICR provided discretionary grant support for a one-day public workshop titled "Examining Access to Nutrition Care in Outpatient Cancer Centers: Planning Committee on Assessing Relationships between Access to Standardized Nutritional Care and Health Outcomes and Cost-Effectiveness of Care in Outpatient Cancer Centers." The workshop, organized by the Food and Nutrition Board of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, examined interactions between nutritional care, cancer, and health outcomes and addressed standards for nutritional services and access of oncology patients to medical nutrition therapy. AICR provided support to the Careers through Culinary Arts Program (C-CAP), which provides scholarships, education and career opportunity in the culinary arts to underserved youth. The AICR/C-CAP Recipe Contest asks high school seniors across the country bring AICRs recommendations to life. Creators of the three winning recipes received a scholarship provided by AICR. AICRs Diana Dyer Nutrition Research Fund provided support to conduct laboratory analyses on biospecimens obtained from two vegetable gardening intervention randomized controlled trials: Harvest for Health in Older Cancer Survivors and Harvest for Health in Breast Cancer Survivors. This funding was used by the investigators to extend the scope of the trials by supporting the collection and processing of blood, saliva, and nails for assessment of important biomarkers of inflammation and aging.
