SEE SCHEDULE O.RESEARCHSCIENTIFIC STUDY OF THE RELATIONSHIP OF DIET, PHYSICAL ACTIVITY AND WEIGHT MANAGEMENT TO CANCER RISK AND SURVIVORSHIP CONTINUES TO BE THE PRIMARY FOCUS OF AMERICAN INSTITUTE FOR CANCER RESEARCH (AICR) RESEARCH INVESTMENT AND ACTIVITIES. 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.AICR IS UNIQUE IN ITS FOCUS ON PREVENTING CANCER AND IMPROVING SURVIVAL THROUGH DIET, NUTRITION, BODY COMPOSITION AND PHYSICAL ACTIVITY.

CANCER EPIDEMIOLOGY BIOMARKERS & PREVENTION. JULY 25, 2022 SHAMS-WHITE MM, BROCKTON NT, MITROU P, KAHLE LL, JILL REEDY J. THE 2018 WORLD CANCER RESEARCH FUND/AMERICAN INSTITUTE FOR CANCER RESEARCH (WCRF/AICR) SCORE AND ALL-CAUSE, CANCER, AND CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE MORTALITY RISK: A LONGITUDINAL ANALYSIS IN THE NIH-AARP DIET AND HEALTH STUDY. CURRENT DEVELOPMENTS IN NUTRITION 2022 JUN 2;6(6) PUBLIC POLICY AICR ENGAGED IN FEDERAL LEGISLATION, ADVOCACY AND REGULATORY ADVISEMENT TO INFORM DECISIONS AND SUPPORT POLICIES THAT HELP PROVIDE PEOPLE WITH THE TOOLS TO PREVENT AND SURVIVE CANCER. AICR'S FEDERAL POLICY PRIORITIES INCLUDED: 1) NUTRITION AND ALCOHOL LABELING TO PROMOTE INFORMED CONSUMER CHOICES; 2) FEDERAL DIETARY GUIDELINES ALIGNED WITH CANCER PREVENTION RESEARCH; 3) FEDERAL GUIDELINES AND POLICIES TO PROMOTE PHYSICAL ACTIVITY; 4) AN INCREASE IN FEDERAL FUNDING FOR CANCER RESEARCH AT THE NATIONAL INSTITUTES OF HEALTH AND NATIONAL CANCER INSTITUTE; AND 5) ACCESS TO DIET, PHYSICAL ACTIVITY AND WEIGHT LOSS INTERVENTIONS FOR PEOPLE WITH CANCER. AICR WORKED TO ADVANCE THESE PRIORITIES THROUGH COLLABORATION WITH OTHER PUBLIC HEALTH STAKEHOLDERS THROUGH FORMAL COALITIONS (SUCH AS THE PHYSICAL ACTIVITY ALLIANCE, ONE VOICE AGAINST CANCER AND THE AD HOC COALITION FOR MEDICAL RESEARCH) AND INFORMAL WORKGROUPS. ACTIVITIES INCLUDED OUTREACH TO REGULATORS, ADMINISTRATION OFFICIALS AND CONGRESSIONAL OFFICES THROUGH RESPONDING TO PUBLIC COMMENT OPPORTUNITIES; EMAILS, PHONE CALLS AND VIRTUAL MEETINGS; AND ENGAGEMENT THROUGH TRADITIONAL AND SOCIAL MEDIA. FOR EXAMPLE, IN FY22, AICR PARTICIPATED IN LOBBY DAYS FOCUSED ON INCREASING FEDERAL FUNDING FOR CANCER AND BIOMEDICAL RESEARCH. AICR ALSO ATTENDED PARTICIPATORY MEETINGS AND LISTENING SESSIONS AS WELL AS SUBMITTED ADVISEMENT LETTERS ABOUT THE CANCER RISK REDUCTION AND HEALTHY CANCER SURVIVORSHIP EVIDENCE IN THE MONTHS LEADING UP TO THE 2ND WHITE HOUSE CONFERENCE ON HUNGER, NUTRITION AND HEALTH, A HISTORIC EVENT THAT HAD NOT BEEN HELD IN MORE THAN 50 YEARS. IN ADDITION, AICR CONTRIBUTED TO ONGOING WORK TO ALLOW FOR MORE SEAMLESS INTEGRATION OF PHYSICAL ACTIVITY CLINICAL MEASURES INTO PATIENT CARE PLANS AND RELATED WORK TO MAKE PHYSICAL ACTIVITY PRESCRIPTIONS A STANDARD OF CARE AS PART OF ITS BOARD OF DIRECTORS POSITION FOR THE PHYSICAL ACTIVITY ALLIANCE. TO PROMOTE GRASSROOTS ADVOCACY IN SUPPORT OF NATIONAL INVESTMENTS IN CANCER RESEARCH DURING THE FEDERAL APPROPRIATIONS PROCESS, AICR PROVIDED GUIDANCE TO THE PUBLIC ABOUT HOW TO CONTACT THEIR MEMBERS OF CONGRESS AND ALSO PROVIDED RECOMMENDED TALKING POINTS FOR THESE CONVERSATIONS. FURTHERMORE, AICR SUBMITTED FORMAL RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES FOR ITS DEVELOPMENT OF RESEARCH QUESTIONS THAT THE DIETARY GUIDELINES FOR AMERICANS COMMITTEE 2025-2030 WOULD USE AS THEY DEVELOP THESE GUIDELINES FOR 2025-2030. MOREOVER, AICR NOMINATED AN AICR-AFFILIATED HARVARD UNIVERSITY PROFESSOR TO THE DIETARY GUIDELINES FOR AMERICANS COMMITTEE TO PROMOTE THE INCLUSION OF CANCER PREVENTION AND SURVIVORSHIP EVIDENCE INTO THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE DIETARY GUIDELINES FOR AMERICANS 2025-2030.

IF THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT CHANGES DO NOT NEED TO BE MADE, THE POLICY IS REAFFIRMED. NEW DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, AND STAFF MEMBERS ARE ADVISED OF THE POLICY IN EFFECT UPON TAKING OFFICE OR UPON THE START OF EMPLOYMENT, AS THE CASE MAY BE. SINCE FISCAL YEAR 2010, DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EXECUTIVES, AND SENIOR LEVEL MANAGEMENT STAFF HAVE BEEN REQUIRED TO SIGN A "DECLARATION OF LACK OF CONFLICT OF INTEREST." THE POLICY PROVIDES THAT IN THE EVENT OF A CONFLICT OF INTEREST RELEVANT TO A MATTER REQUIRING ACTION BY THE BOARD, THE PERSON SHALL CALL IT TO THE ATTENTION OF THE BOARD (OR COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD, AS THE CASE MAY BE), AND SUCH PERSON SHALL NOT VOTE ON THE MATTER. THE PERSON HAVING A CONFLICT OF INTEREST SHALL PROVIDE THE BOARD (OR COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD, AS THE CASE MAY BE), WITH ANY AND ALL RELEVANT INFORMATION, AND SHALL RETIRE FROM THE ROOM IN WHICH THE BOARD (OR COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD, AS THE CASE MAY BE) IS MEETING CONCERNING SUCH MATTER, AND SHALL NOT PARTICIPATE IN THE FINAL DELIBERATION OR DECISION REGARDING THE MATTER UNDER CONSIDERATION. THE MINUTES OF THE MEETING OF THE BOARD (OR COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD, AS THE CASE MAY BE) SHALL REFLECT THAT THE CONFLICT OF INTEREST WAS DISCLOSED AND THAT THE INTERESTED PERSON WAS NOT PRESENT DURING THE FINAL DISCUSSION OF SUCH MATTER OR VOTE AND DID NOT VOTE ON SUCH MATTER. WHEN THERE IS A DOUBT AS TO WHETHER A CONFLICT OF INTEREST EXISTS, THE MATTER SHALL BE RESOLVED BY VOTE OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS (OR COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD, AS THE CASE MAY BE), EXCLUDING THE INTERESTED PERSON.
