SEE SCHEDULE O.RESEARCH PROGRAMSRESEARCH: THE WORK WE FUNDSCIENTIFIC 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 APPROXIMATELY 40% OF ALL CANCERS COULD BE PREVENTED IF EVERYONE REACHED AND MAINTAINED A HEALTHY WEIGHT, FOLLOWED THE RECOMMENDATIONS FOR REGULAR PHYSICAL ACTIVITY, CONSUMED A HEALTHY DIET, AVOIDED USE OF TOBACCO PRODUCTS, AND FOLLOWED APPROPRIATE SCREENING AND VACCINATION GUIDELINES. IN TOTAL THROUGH FY18, AICR HAS COMMITTED OVER $ 108 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 THAT 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 UPDATESREPORTSDIET, NUTRITION, PHYSICAL ACTIVITY AND CANCER: A GLOBAL PERSPECTIVE THIRD EXPERT REPORTIN 2018, AICR AND ITS INTERNATIONAL AFFILIATES IN THE WORLD CANCER RESEARCH FUND (WCRF) GLOBAL NETWORK PUBLISHED THE THIRD EXPERT REPORT. BUILDING ON THE FIRST AND SECOND EXPERT REPORTS, RELEASED IN 1997 AND 2007, OUR PANEL HAS REVIEWED THE LATEST EVIDENCE FROM THE PAST DECADE AND DEVELOPED THE MOST RELIABLE CANCER PREVENTION ADVICE CURRENTLY AVAILABLE. BASED ON A REVIEW OF DATA FROM 51 MILLION PEOPLE, INCLUDING 3.5 MILLION CANCER CASES IN 17 CANCERS, THE EVIDENCE REMAINS CONSISTENT WITH EARLIER COMPREHENSIVE ANALYSES CONDUCTED IN 1997 AND 2007 ON WHAT ACTIONS PEOPLE CAN TAKE TO DRAMATICALLY CUT PERSONAL CANCER RISKS. THE EXPERT PANEL ISSUED 10 RECOMMENDATIONS FOR CANCER PREVENTION:1. BE A HEALTHY WEIGHT.2. BE PHYSICALLY ACTIVE.3. EAT A DIET RICH IN WHOLEGRAINS, VEGETABLES, FRUIT AND BEANS.4. LIMIT CONSUMPTION OF 'FAST FOODS AND OTHER PROCESSED FOODS HIGH IN FAT, STARCHES OR SUGARS. 5. LIMIT CONSUMPTION OF RED AND PROCESSED MEAT.6. LIMIT CONSUMPTION OF SUGAR SWEETENED DRINKS.7. LIMIT ALCOHOL CONSUMPTION.8. DO NOT USE SUPPLEMENTS FOR CANCER PREVENTION.9. FOR MOTHERS: BREASTFEED YOUR BABY, IF YOU CAN.10. AFTER A CANCER DIAGNOSIS, FOLLOW OUR RECOMMENDATIONS, IF YOU CAN.NOT SMOKING AND AVOIDING OTHER EXPOSURES TO TOBACCO AND EXCESS SUN ARE ALSO IMPORTANT IN REDUCING CANCER RISK. FOLLOWING THESE RECOMMENDATIONS IS LIKELY TO REDUCE INTAKES OF SALT, SATURATED AND TRANS FATS, WHICH TOGETHER WILL HELP PREVENT OTHER NON-COMMUNICABLE DISEASES. CONTINUOUS UPDATESTHE CONTINUOUS UPDATE PROJECT (CUP) IS AN ONGOING ANALYSIS OF THE GLOBAL RESEARCH FOCUSED ON THE INTERSECTION OF DIET, WEIGHT AND PHYSICAL ACTIVITY WITH CANCER PREVENTION AND SURVIVAL AND IS A TRUSTED SCIENTIFIC RESOURCE USED BY EXPERTS TO SHAPE GUIDELINES AND POLICY FOR CANCER PREVENTION. THE RIGOROUS PROCESS USED TO COLLECT, COLLATE AND ANALYZE THE WORLDWIDE RESEARCH ON CANCER IS UNPARALLELED AND ENSURES A SYSTEMATIC APPROACH FOR ANY CANCER BEING STUDIED. DURING FY18, THREE NEW CUP REPORTS WERE PUBLISHED, ADDING TO THE 15 PREVIOUSLY PRODUCED:-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-BREAST CANCER: 2017-COLORECTAL CANCER: 2017-LUNG CANCER: 2018-MOUTH, PHARYNX AND LARYNX CANCERS: 2018-ENERGY BALANCE AND BODY FATNESS: 2018CUP REPORTS ON CANCERS OF THE CERVIX AND SKIN ARE DUE TO BE PUBLISHED IN FY19. FUTURE RESEARCH DIRECTIONSAS PART OF THE THIRD EXPERT REPORT, AICR INCLUDES A CHAPTER ON FUTURE RESEARCH DIRECTIONS AS CALL TO ACTION NOT ONLY FOR AICR FUNDING BUT ALSO FOR OTHER SCIENTISTS AND FUNDERS. THERE IS A NEED TO FOCUS ON SIX CRITICAL AREAS OF RESEARCH IN ORDER TO ADVANCE OUR UNDERSTANDING OF THE COMPLEXITY OF THE CANCER PROCESS AND HOW DIET, NUTRITION AND PHYSICAL ACTIVITY CAN DISRUPT OR PREVENT CANCER FROM STARTING. AICR RESEARCH SYMPOSIAEACH YEAR, AICR ORGANIZES AND HOSTS SEVERAL RESEARCH SYMPOSIA TO BRING THE RESEARCHERS WORKING IN THE FIELD TOGETHER, TO SHARE NEW DATA AND EXPLORE NEW INNOVATIONS.

FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A, CONTINUED. 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 (NAP) IS ONE SUCH TOOL: A FREE, ONLINE WEIGHT LOSS PROGRAM FOR THE PUBLIC, CONSISTING OF A SERIES OF WEEKLY EMAILS AND REMINDERS THAT ISSUE SPECIFIC GOAL-ORIENTED CHALLENGES RELATED TO AICR'S 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, MEMBER'S ONLY FACEBOOK GROUP TO GIVE AND GET SUPPORT FROM EACH OTHER AND NAP CHALLENGE DIETITIANS. THE CHALLENGE IS RUN TWICE A YEAR AND OVER 5,000 PEOPLE PARTICIPATE EACH TIME IT IS OFFERED AND DURING FY18, THERE WERE OVER 15,000 NEW USERS OF NAPC WEBPAGES. (WWW.NAPCHALLENGE.ORG). NEW AMERICAN PLATE CHALLENGE FOR OLDER ADULTS IN FY18, AICR RECEIVED A SECOND GRANT FROM SAFEWAY TO CONTINUE THE PILOT PROGRAM STARTED IN 2017 WHICH IS AN ADAPTION OF THE NAPC AS AN ONSITE PROGRAM FOR OLDER ADULTS IN A LOWER-INCOME, CULTURALLY DIVERSE COMMUNITY. THIS INNOVATIVE PROJECT IS UNDERWAY AND IS BEING CONDUCTED INDEPENDENTLY BY FACULTY AND GRADUATE STUDENTS AT THE MILKEN INSTITUTE SCHOOL OF PUBLIC HEALTH, GEORGE WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY. USING KEY FEEDBACK FROM THIS PROJECT AND NEW DATA FROM THE 2018 THIRD EXPERT REPORT, AICR IS FINALIZING AND UPDATING THE COMPREHENSIVE CURRICULUM FOR THE NEW AMERICAN PLATE CHALLENGE FOR OLDER ADULTS. WITHIN THE NEXT YEAR, THIS PROGRAM WILL BE MADE AVAILABLE TO DIETETICS AND NUTRITION HEALTH PROFESSIONALS. THE PROGRAM INCLUDES EVIDENCE BACKGROUND, PROGRAM OVERVIEW, COMPLETE LESSON PLANS, HANDOUTS, EVALUATION TOOLS AND PROMOTIONAL MATERIALS.

AICR STAFF CREATE CUSTOMIZED PACKETS FOR ANY CANCER BY INCLUDING SPECIFIC, DETAILED AND UP TO DATE PRINT OUTS ABOUT THE RELEVANT CANCER. REQUESTS FOR EACH PACKET ARE FILLED IMMEDIATELY, TO GET THIS VITAL INFORMATION TO THOSE WHO NEED IT AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE. IN FY18, WE MADE CANCERRESOURCE INTO A DOWNLOADABLE TOOL FROM OUR WEBSITE AND THIS HAS INCREASED ACCESS TO THIS IMPORTANT INFORMATION WITH DOWNLOADS AT A RATE OF 28 A MONTH. AICR HEALTH PROFESSIONAL (HP) AND EDUCATOR COMMUNITY AICR'S HP COMMUNITY PROVIDES AN ONLINE DESTINATION FOR HEALTH PROFESSIONALS, FEATURING A WEALTH OF INTERACTIVE TOOLS, CONTINUING EDUCATION OPPORTUNITIES, AND PRACTICAL EVIDENCE-BASED RESOURCES FOR PATIENTS AND CLIENTS, AND SPECIAL DISCOUNTS ON BULK PURCHASES.

IN FY18, WE INTRODUCED NEW FACT SHEETS THAT HPS CAN DOWNLOAD ON HOT TOPICS SUCH AS PLANT-BASED DIETS. IN FY18, WE OFFERED A NEW WEBINAR ABOUT THE NEW THIRD EXPERT REPORT. OVER 960 HEALTH PROFESSIONALS REGISTERED AND 886 ATTENDED ON THE DAY WITH ANOTHER 404 WATCHING IT ON DEMAND LATER. COPING WITH CANCER IN THE KITCHEN COPING WITH CANCER IN THE KITCHEN (CCK) IS AN EXPERIENTIAL NUTRITION AND COOKING EDUCATION PROGRAM IN A HEALTH EDUCATION SETTING FOR CANCER SURVIVORS DESIGNED TO INCREASE ACCEPTANCE AND CONSUMPTION OF A MOSTLY PLANT FOOD DIET. FOLLOWING THE SUCCESS OF TWO TEST PROGRAMS LAST YEAR, AICR PARTNERED WITH THE CANCER SUPPORT COMMUNITY (CSC) OF CENTRAL NEW JERSEY TO DEVELOP THE NEXT PHASE OF THE PILOT. WE WILL BE DOING THE PROGRAM AT TWO MORE SITES WITH CHANGES MADE BASED ON FEEDBACK FROM THE FIRST PILOT. PROGRAM CONTENT IS BASED ON AICR'S RECOMMENDATIONS FOR CANCER PREVENTION, THE NEW AMERICAN PLATE AND FOODS THAT FIGHT CANCER. CSC'S PSYCHOSOCIAL APPROACH INFORMED THE BEHAVIOR CHANGE COMPONENT, INCLUDING GROUP COUNSELING AND SUPPORT. THE PILOT PROJECT RESEARCH SHOWED THAT SURVIVORS EXPERIENCED POSITIVE COGNITIVE AND BEHAVIORAL CHANGES AFTER THE 7-WEEK PROGRAM. AICR AND CSC ARE IN PROCESS OF PREPARING A LIMITED LAUNCH OF THE PROGRAM FOR ADDITIONAL RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT.
