Aug 13, 2024, 11:14 AM
President Joe Biden is using his final months in office to advance the 'Cancer Moonshot' initiative, aiming to reduce cancer deaths. He has announced $150 million in new federal funding for research grants to develop technology that assists surgeons in successfully treating cancer. The initiative, which Biden first launched during the Obama administration, seeks to cut U.S. cancer fatalities by 50% over the next 25 years. Recently, the administration also awarded nearly $9 million to improve access to cancer screenings and follow-up treatments in underserved communities. The Bidens are traveling to New Orleans to promote this initiative.
