 You're looking at some of the brilliant researchers whose work has been funded by your tax dollars through the U.S. Department of Defense. All have been invited to join our kidney cancer professional group or currently serve as our advisors. The Kidney Cancer Association belongs to a coalition of organizations that value research conducted through the peer-reviewed cancer research program. We're asking that you join us to request that Congress allocate $16 million for this research in 2013. Funding is under the umbrella of the Congressionally Directed Medical Research Programs and supports medical research for several forms of cancer, including kidney cancer. Point your web browser to the American Kidney Cancer Alliance website, aka.us, where you can join the 70,000 members of the Kidney Cancer Association, many of whom have proudly served in America's Armed Forces to urge Congress to fund this important research.
