APP Cancer Research Summit 2026

August 7th - 8th

New York Marriott Marquis

The Second Annual APP Cancer Research Summit is Coming to New York City Aug. 7 - 8!

An Oncology Research Conference for Advanced Practice Providers in Oncology

The APP Cancer Research Summit (ACRS) is a two-day conference designed to empower advanced practice providers (APPs) with the knowledge and skills needed to excel in oncology-focused clinical research. Whether you are curious about how to get started or already active in clinical research and looking to grow your role on the research team, ACRS is developed with experienced clinical research APPs to ensure the education meets the real-world needs of APPs across the oncology research continuum. Sessions will explore Clinical Trials 101, how to develop and lead your own clinical research, how to advance your role on the research team, and the latest trends in clinical research. Held in conjunction with the Summit for Novel Therapeutics in Oncology & Precision Medicine in Cancer (STOP Cancer), ACRS provides a forum for APPs interested in already engaged in cancer research to learn, network, and collaborate.

This conference is planned and developed with clinical research APPs to ensure we provide the education and training APPs need and want. Held in conjunction with Summit for Novel Therapeutics in Oncology & Precision Medicine in Cancer (STOP Cancer), ACRS welcomes seasoned clinical research APPs and those interested in cancer research. Our goal is to provide a forum for APPs interested or practicing in cancer research to learn, network, and collaborate.
