From the lab to the doctor's office to the patient. That is the path for nearly
all life-saving cancer screenings and treatments.
Often times, that work in the lab begins with a grant funded by the federal government,
the largest funder of cancer research and programs in the country.
Who decides how much money the government invests in cancer research and programs?
Congress and the President.
Through its budget and appropriations process, Congress determines how much money
it will spend each year and which federal agencies and programs will receive that money.
