NIH panel to help cancer moonshot initiative
The National Cancer Institute today announced a Blue Ribbon Panel of scientific experts, cancer leaders and patient advocates that will inform its goals for the vice president’s National Cancer Moonshot Initiative. The panel will serve as a working group of the presidentially appointed National Cancer Advisory Board. “This Blue Ribbon Panel will ensure that, as [the National Institutes of Health] allocates new resources through the Moonshot, decisions will be grounded in the best science,” said Vice President Joe Biden. “I look forward to working with this panel and many others involved with the Moonshot to make unprecedented improvements in prevention, diagnosis and treatment of cancer.”
