Dr. Civin with Maryland Governer Wes Moore

Maryland Pediatric Cancer Fund and Commission (2024 HB51/SB13): The Maryland Dept of Health, via a 13-member expert Commission (incl 1 pediatric oncologist physician and 2 pediatric cancer researchers from UM), will allocate $5M in FY25 for research in Maryland “to develop and advance the understanding of pediatric cancer and the techniques and modalities effective in the prevention, cure, screening, and treatment of pediatric cancer.” Dr. Civin attended the bill signing ceremony where Governor Wes Moore signed House Bill 51/Senate Bill 13 into Maryland law. We hope that the Maryland Pediatric Cancer Fund and Commission Act will be funded annually by State of Maryland budget allocations.
