Bill overview
The Fairness to Kids with Cancer Act of 2023 aims to increase funding for research into childhood cancers. The bill requires that at least the same percentage of federal cancer research dollars as the proportion of the U.S. population under 18 years old be dedicated to pediatric cancer research. This would ensure that children’s cancers receive a more equitable share of research funding compared to adult cancers. The goal is to improve treatment and outcomes for young cancer patients.
