The AIM-HI Accelerator Fund is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit founded in 2019 by the National Foundation for Cancer Research to move oncology innovations from the laboratory toward clinical use. It provides accelerative resources to oncology startups to help translate research discoveries into therapies and technologies that can reach patients. By focusing on bridging the gap between basic research and clinical trials, AIM-HI supports efforts to develop new cancer treatments and diagnostic tools. Headquartered in Rockville, Maryland, the organization operates as a small-to-mid-sized nonprofit focused on enabling translational progress in cancer care. Since 2020, it has run Women's Initiatives programs, including the Women's Venture Competition, to support women scientist-entrepreneurs who are underfunded or underserved in the life sciences. In 2023, the organization's CEO and co-founder, Sujuan Ba, Ph.D., received the inaugural Leadership Award for Global Advocate of Cancer Research at BIOHK2023, reflecting recognition of its leadership in the field.
