Tell Congress cancer research funding isn't optional – it's essential
Over the past year, several federal funding proposals have been put forward that would slash cancer research funding – some by as much as 40%. Massive cuts like this would have life-threatening consequences. Urge your members of Congress to protect and increase lifesaving cancer research funding.
For the past 50 years, every major breakthrough in cancer treatment has been thanks to federally funded research at the National Cancer Institute. It's why more people are surviving a cancer diagnosis than ever before. We've made huge progress in the fight against cancer, but the fight is far from over.
We can't go back. Cuts have consequences.
Sign the petition to tell Congress cancer research funding isn't optional – it's essential.
Cancer patients and their families depend on lifesaving cancer research. Every new breakthrough in cancer treatment and prevention starts with federal funding. Cuts to cancer research mean slowing progress, delaying new treatments, and putting lives at risk. Cuts to research funding, reductions in key staff, and spending freezes all jeopardize progress in the fight against cancer and undermine decades of momentum. Cancer advocates are calling on you to oppose cuts to cancer research funding and prioritize the fight against cancer in your next budget bill.
