American Cancer Society National HPV Vaccination Roundtable

What American Cancer Society National HPV Vaccination Roundtable does

The American Cancer Society National HPV Vaccination Roundtable (ACS HPVRT) is a national nonprofit coalition established in 2014 in partnership with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, convening approximately 90 public, private, and voluntary organizations to raise HPV vaccination rates and prevent HPV cancers in the United States. The Roundtable operates as a backbone initiative of the American Cancer Society and is co-chaired by leaders from patient advocacy, pediatrics, and gynecologic oncology. Its portfolio of offerings includes the Start HPV Vaccination at Age 9 Toolkit (translated into 14+ languages), HPV Vaccination Evidence Summaries, Cancer Prevention Through HPV Vaccination Action Guides for clinicians and health systems, the Power to Prevent Cancer campaign, a quarterly Promising Practices Series, the Emerging Leaders Fellows Program, regional coalitions, and a Resource Center hosting 112+ tools. Primary audiences are healthcare providers, health systems, health plans, state and regional coalitions, and parents of adolescents aged 9–13.

The Roundtable funds operations through a federal cooperative agreement with the CDC, in-kind contributions from the American Cancer Society (staffing and infrastructure), and corporate sponsorships from Roche and Merck. It does not charge membership dues, does not sell products or services, and offers all resources free of charge. Distribution occurs through its ~90-member organization network, regional coalitions (the Southeast Roundtable covering 12 states plus Puerto Rico, and the Northwest/Northern Plains coalition), and direct downloads from the online Resource Center. A planned 2026 consolidation will merge the Roundtable with the ACS National Roundtable on Cervical Cancer into a single entity.

Technically, the Roundtable is not a software or AI company; it is a coordination, advocacy, and education platform. Its principal technical asset is a Tableau-based interactive dashboard illustrating HPV vaccination age recommendations across U.S. jurisdictions via Immunization Information Systems. The underlying "platform" is the coalition itself — a trusted, neutral convener under ACS and CDC authority that standardizes messaging, disseminates evidence-based practices, and hosts annual National Meetings, regional summits, and webinars to advance HPV vaccination as cancer prevention.
