Mission Statement
The American-Italian Cancer Foundation supports cancer research, education, and control, emphasizing the outstanding resources of Italy and the United States, recognizing world-class scientific excellence in medicine, and serving economically disadvantaged, medically under-served New York City women through breast cancer screening, outreach, and education.
About This Cause
The American-Italian Cancer Foundation (AICF) was founded in 1980 and received its 501c (3) non-profit designation in 1986. AICF's programs include the International Post-Doctoral Research Fellowship Program, and the Mobile, No-cost Breast Cancer Screening Program. AICF also recognizes ground-breaking scientific achievements with its Prize for Scientific Excellence in Medicine. AICF's International Post-Doctoral Research Fellowship Program provides financial support for the post-doctoral research of Italian scientists in the United States. AICF’s Fellows pursue cancer research in collaboration with mentors at major cancer centers in the United States. AICF has awarded over 520 fellowships since the program’s inception in 1983. AICF's Prize for Scientific Excellence in Medicine is awarded to two world-class scientific researchers who have made important discoveries in cancer biology, prevention, diagnosis, and/or treatment. Each winner is awarded a $50,000 prize. Launched in 1987, AICF’s Mobile, No-cost Breast Cancer Screening Program promotes breast cancer early detection and education in NYC medically underserved neighborhoods. Through our screening program, women are provided with no-cost mammograms, clinical breast exams, and breast health education on a Mammogram Bus that travels the five boroughs of New York City to hold breast cancer screening events in neighborhoods with high rates of breast cancer, low incidences of screening, and high socio-economic needs.
