Kids' cancer research funding set by population

If enacted, the President would ensure kids' cancer research gets the same share as kids' share of the U.S. population. This would start in fiscal year 2026 and repeat each year. The share would use Census counts from the end of the prior fiscal year. The rule would apply to all federal cancer research funds and could shift dollars toward pediatric research.
