In acknowledging the formidable impact of women in influential roles across diverse sectors, we forge a collective commitment to instigate positive change. As leaders and advocates within our respective domains, we not only uplift women within our fields but extend our unwavering support to a cause that transcends boundaries—the ResearcHERS movement by the American Cancer Society.
This movement empowers women to fundraise in support of women-led cancer research, standing as a testament to the resilience and dedication of the female researchers at the forefront of battling cancer.
Our dedication to technology and innovation reaches beyond industry applications, contributing unique perspectives to fuel the advancements in cancer research pioneered by resilient women.
Recognizing the paramount importance of work-life integration and overall well-being, we are dedicated to fostering environments that champion and support female scientists in their tireless pursuit of groundbreaking discoveries.
Our commitment to diversity and inclusion, gender equality, equity seamlessly aligns with the ResearcHERS movement's mission of recognizing and sustaining trailblazing women in cancer research.
Serving as mentors and network builders, we ensure that the strength of our collective experience uplifts and empowers the next generation of female scientists, especially those dedicated to advancing cancer research. Together, we harness our influence to propel the ResearcHERS movement forward, uniting women from diverse backgrounds and industries in a shared mission to support and advance female cancer researchers.
Let us collectively work towards a future liberated from the burdens of cancer for all, standing alongside the ResearcHERS movement as a sisterhood of purpose fueling the future of women-led cancer research.
The New ResearcHERS Scholars Program
ACS (American Cancer Society) ResearcHERS Scholars are funded scientists recognized by ACS leadership for their innovation and potential for high impact research. As an ACS ResearcHERS Scholar, these women scientists represent some of the brightest minds in cancer research and embrace the theme of the ResearcHERS program of inspiring more women in the field of science.
We are proud to announce our four inaugural ACS ResearcHERS Scholars, ACS-funded scientists who are funded in part by dollars raised through the ResearcHERS program. These scientists are:
