Cancer Research Trust Fund Act

This bill would create a Cancer Research Trust Fund in the U.S. Treasury. Congress would be authorized to put money into the fund equal to ten percent of the duties collected each year on imported tobacco and tobacco substitute products. The Department of Health and Human Services, working with the Defense Health Agency, would use the money for research on early cancer screening, prevention, treatments, and new therapies. The research would give priority to rare cancers and cancers affecting children.
