Biomedical research is one of the most productive investments of federal funding, producing long-term economic benefits while improving public health. Please contact your representatives and ask them to reject the President’s FY26 budget and #FundNIH: votervoice.net/AACR/Campaign…
According to a recent United for Medical Research report, every $1 of NIH research funding generates $2.56 in economic activity. Ask Congress to reject the President’s proposed NIH cuts and support the nation’s physical and economic health. brnw.ch/21wU8k8 @UMR4NIH

September prostate cancer awareness! Black men face a higher incidence & mortality rate of prostate cancer due to in part disease-associated genetic variants, limited access to healthcare infrastructure, medicine, and technologies, and cultural barriers... @BIOVentures @CaPTC7

BVGH is pleased to welcome Tanzania as our newest AAI partner country! We look forward to working together to advance partnerships and drive progress in cancer care across the country.
In Tanzania, it is increasingly common to find individuals affected by cancer within neighborhoods and households, both in urban and rural areas. Cancer has become a major public health concern in the country. President Samia's administration is committed to collaborating with various partners to enhance the accessibility of cancer care services for Tanzanians. I extend my gratitude to Bio Venture for Global Health @BIOVentures , through the African Access Initiative, for their willingness to collaborate with the Government of Tanzania to improve access to affordable cancer care services @eskanza

Drawing attention to this remarkable story. Jamie received tumor-infiltrating lymphocyte (TIL) therapy from Dr. Rosenberg and team at the @NIH Clinical Center more than 10 yrs ago. Today, she advocates for other #CancerSurvivors. @NCIResearchCtr cancercontrol.cancer.gov/ocs…
When Jamie was diagnosed w/ stage 4 #melanoma, treatment options weren't promising. She enrolled in a clinical trial. Now, more than 10 yrs later, she works to ensure that #CancerSurvivors know about #ClinicalTrials & how to access them. Read Jamie's story cancercontrol.cancer.gov/ocs…
