Join the National Day of Action today - September 17, 2026 - to support the message of hundreds of advocates in DC for the 14th Annual Rally for Medical Research Hill Day. Children's Cancer Cause joins over 400 organizations in thanking lawmakers for decades of bipartisan support and calling for robust, sustained increases for the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in FY 2027. 

Rally for Medical Research is about reaffirming that medical research must remain a national priority and showing what is possible when America commits to it. NIH-supported science has led to longer lives after cancer, breakthroughs in treating heart disease, new hope for people living with diabetes and Alzheimer’s, and cutting-edge cures for rare genetic disorders. It has strengthened public health, fueled innovation, and delivered answers across every field of medicine. 

But progress is fragile. Without robust, sustained increases in funding, discoveries stall, opportunities are lost, and patients are left waiting.
