How Cancer Research Gets Funded

Fight CRC’s grants to colorectal cancer research is just one way cancer research gets funded. The majority of cancer research happening in the United States is funded by the federal government. This is why Fight CRC asks Congress to direct federal funds toward lifesaving medical research.
