- TOXIC CHEMICALS
- CHILDREN’S HEALTHCARE
- CHILDHOOD CANCER
The cause of childhood cancers including leukemia, lymphoma, bone cancer and brain tumors are not known. Some people speculate a child's exposure to second-hand smoke, pollutants, x-rays or microwave radiation may contribute to the cause of childhood cancers. Studies have shown that some children are exposed to high levels of pesticides in schools and day-care environments - chemicals that are toxic to a child
- I oppose reforming current childhood cancer policy and wish to donate resources to the campaign committee of Speaker Nancy Pelosi (CA).
- I support authorizing the Director of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to make additional awards to support researchers focused on pediatric research by:
1.) Establishing an NIH-wide grant to support early-career pediatric researchers who would be allowed to focus on any aspect of pediatric research, from basic discovery to clinical and translational research.
2.) Directing NIH to work with pediatric stakeholders to identify specific areas of need, including those aligned with existing NIH pediatric research goals and emerging needs.
And wish to donate resources to the campaign committee of Rep. Lisa Blunt Rochester (DE-At Large) and/or to an advocate group currently working with this issue.
