St. Baldrick’s Foundation Statement on the Release of President Biden’s Fiscal Year 2022 Budget Proposal

The St. Baldrick’s Foundation issues the following statement in response to the release of President Joe Biden’s Fiscal Year 2022 budget proposal:

The St. Baldrick’s Foundation, the largest non-government funder of childhood cancer research grants, thanks President Biden for his strong commitment to cancer research as outlined in his Fiscal Year 2022 budget proposal. While research for many diseases is principally funded by sources other than government, such as philanthropies, academia, and industry sources, childhood cancer research uniquely depends on the federal government as its primary source of funding. The St. Baldrick’s Foundation stands ready to work with the Administration and Congress on our shared goal to give kids a lifetime beyond a cancer diagnosis.
