  • At one of the largest cancer conferences in the world, researchers spoke with unusual boldness about advocating for their work.

The article from STAT News dated May 3, 2025, discusses the political tensions surrounding the National Institutes of Health (NIH) funding during the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) annual meeting. It highlights former President Donald Trump's criticism of the NIH and his push for budget cuts, which has alarmed cancer researchers and advocates. The piece details how the AACR meeting became a platform for advocacy, with attendees expressing concerns over potential reductions in research funding that could hinder progress in cancer research. Key figures in the cancer research community, including scientists and patient advocates, are quoted emphasizing the importance of sustained NIH funding for advancing treatments and ultimately finding cures for cancer. The article also touches on the broader implications of politicizing scientific research funding and the potential long-term effects on public health.
