About the Office of Advocacy Relations

The Office of Advocacy Relations (OAR) serves as the National Cancer Institute’s (NCI) principal conduit for engaging the cancer advocacy community.

OAR works with the entire cancer advocacy community—from individual research advocates to national organizations—to create a culture of advocate engagement at the NCI. As part of the Office of the Director, OAR facilitates meaningful engagements that improve understanding, opportunity, and progress in cancer research.
