Every Child Deserves Equal Access to Cancer Care
Project 46 is a student-led pediatric cancer advocacy initiative focused on reducing barriers to treatment through healthcare policy, research, physician collaboration, and public education.
How We Create Change
Research
We review scientific literature and healthcare policy to identify barriers preventing children from accessing timely, high-quality cancer care.
Expert Collaboration
We work with pediatric oncologists, researchers, and advocacy organizations to ensure our recommendations reflect real challenges faced by patients and families.
Policy Advocacy
We develop evidence-based policy briefs and educational resources that translate research into actionable recommendations for healthcare leaders and policymakers.
Community Education
Through presentations, monthly Spotlight articles, and partnerships, we raise awareness about pediatric cancer disparities and encourage meaningful advocacy.
Why Project 46 Exists
Every child deserves the opportunity to receive life-saving cancer care, regardless of where they live or their family's financial circumstances. Yet for many families, access to specialized pediatric oncology care is limited by long travel distances, transportation challenges, and unequal access to clinical trials and supportive services.
Project 46 was created to address these disparities through research, collaboration with healthcare professionals, and evidence-based policy advocacy. Our goal is to transform research into practical solutions that help make pediatric cancer care more equitable and accessible.
