Annie Fox Act

The Annie Fox Act (H.R. 987) would require the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences to increase its focus on breast cancer in younger women. The bill directs the agency to expand research into the causes, prevention, and long-term effects of the disease specifically for this age group, while also creating new education programs for the public and healthcare providers. If passed, the legislation would aim to improve early detection and treatment outcomes for young women through more targeted scientific study and increased medical awareness.
