In 2016, $0 was allocated for kidney cancer research. Thanks to the hard work of advocates in the kidney cancer community, that number has grown to $285 million since. Twice a year, KidneyCAN organizes calls and visits to congress to speak about the need for kidney cancer research.
We need your help to continue the progress in funding kidney cancer research!
Whether you are a patient, caregiver, family member or friend, there is no greater way to impact our lawmakers than to share how kidney cancer has impacted your life. The passion you have to pursue advanced treatments or cure will translate to action! Patients and their families are at the heart of the grassroots army that has taken earmarked federal dollars for research from $0 to $50 million a year.
You and your loved ones can be a part of this army! There is strength and empowerment in “giving back.”
KidneyCAN President Bryan Lewis and Dr. Andrew Smith of University of Alabama at Birmingham describe the importance of advocating for kidney cancer research funding and the impact it has on patient treatment.

Did you know you can impact the amount of research dollars ultimately allocated? Your firsthand account of the cost and value of cancer research provides a unique and needed perspective when we talk to congressional representatives.
Please take the opportunity and support these advocacy visits and be part of the powerful, united voice we need to make a difference! We need basic science and translational researchers to be part of this grassroots army.
