The Obama Administration launched the Cancer Moonshot in 2016 to accelerate aspects of cancer research, with then-Vice President Biden in charge of "mission control." With the signing into law of the 21st Century Cures Act, the U.S. Congress authorized $ 1.8 billion in funding for the Cancer Moonshot over seven years starting in 2017. The National Cancer Institute (NCI) has invested those funds in more than 240 research projects and 70 programs in research priority areas including improving the understanding of cancer, encouraging collaboration and data sharing, and addressing cancer disparities [1].
