AI Summary
This bill, the Fairness to Kids with Cancer Act of 2023, aims to ensure that a fair percentage of federal cancer research funds are dedicated to pediatric cancer research. The key provision of the bill requires the President to ensure that, starting in fiscal year 2024 and each subsequent year, the percentage of federal funds obligated for cancer research that is used for pediatric cancer research is equal to the percentage of the total U.S. population that is under the age of 18. This is intended to align the funding for pediatric cancer research with the proportion of the population that it serves.
