WHY?
Advocate With One Voice
for the Federal Lung Cancer
Research Program
We must all speak with ONE VOICE to rally behind the House
Appropriations Bill for FY2020, which if approved would bring
federal funding for lung cancer research up to a total of
$155.5 Million.
Currently, the LCRP is funded in the FY20 House Defense
Appropriations Bill at $14M, which is $6M below its original FY09
allocation. In the FY20 Senate Defense Appropriations Bill, lung
cancer is not funded as an individual research program. Instead, it has
been included in the broader peer-reviewed competitive program.
