ACS Research Opportunity

In May 2024, ACS launched the VOICES of Black Women study—a long-term health study, which will be powered by the perspectives of 100,000 Black women in all 50 states and Washington, D.C. The goal of this study is to better understand how and why health conditions like cancer disproportionately affect Black women so that we can strive for enhanced health outcomes for current and future generations.

As our trusted partner, we know that VOICES of Black Women is in direct alignment with our shared goals to promote equitable health outcomes across populations. By collaborating with ACS, you will join over 300 partnering organizations who have committed to make a lasting impact on community health, together.

Amplify the VOICES initiative by sharing it with your organization, members, or network. Learn more at voices.cancer.org.

Thank You!
