About Us

“Early-career investigators” (ECIs) or early career researchers (ECRs) are typically assistant professors at research universities and hospitals who have held their positions for 8 years or less. ACECHR is a group of early-career investigators advocating for funding policies that would promote a sustainable research workforce and invest in future discovery and innovation in health research.
