In addition to asking for increased research funding, radiation oncologists will focus on several related initiatives: ASTRO strongly supports the DIVERSE Clinical Trials Act (H.R. 5030/S. 2706) to improve representation of individuals from minority populations in clinical research by removing barriers to participation. Radiation oncologists also are urging lawmakers to ensure that the recently reignited Cancer Moonshot initiative supports efforts to enhance radiation therapy access, address disparities in care and treatment outcomes and reduce obstacles to care. Finally, radiation oncologists are asking for adequate funding for the Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health (ARPA-H) that does not pull funding from other NIH programs.
