Caught in the crossfire: The critical threats facing cancer centers, research, and patient care - The Cancer Letter
NCI-designated cancer centers and academic medical institutions (AMCs) are facing unprecedented threats that jeopardize their ability to conduct groundbreaking research, deliver cutting-edge care, and sustain clinical trials essential to patient treatment. Funding instability, including freezes on federal grants and sudden cuts to indirect cost rates, is creating a ripple effect that disrupts the entire cancer […]
