YourVoice.Now Summary
Childhood cancer research would get a share of federal cancer research money equal to kids' share of the U.S. population.
The details
Kids with cancer could get a set share of federal cancer research money. Each year, the share that goes to childhood cancer would have to match the share of Americans who are under 18. The Census Bureau's count from the year before would set that number. The rule would start with the 2026 federal budget year and repeat every year after. The President would have to make sure the target is met across federal cancer research. The bill does not add new money. It changes how existing cancer research dollars are split. Most families would see no direct change in daily life.
