What this bill would do
The Fairness to Kids with Cancer Act of 2025 aims to dedicate a fair percentage of Federal cancer research funds specifically to pediatric cancer research. For fiscal year 2026 and every year after, the President must ensure a specific funding ratio is met. This ratio is based on the number of people under age 18 compared to the total population of the United States. The population numbers used for this calculation are determined by the Bureau of the Census.
