OCRA joined more than 400 patient advocates, providers and researchers at the Rally for Medical Research Hill Day on September 18th to call on Congress to increase critical funding at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) for Fiscal Year 2026. Dozens of organizations, including the event’s founding organizer American Association for Cancer Research, met with Congressional members and staffers to ask for their support.
