President Trump has signed an executive order directing the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to allocate $50 million towards artificial intelligence projects focused on pediatric cancer research. Announced on October 1, 2025, this initiative aims to enhance clinical trials, diagnostics, and therapy development through the 'Children's Cancer Data Initiative'. The White House emphasized the goal of using AI to improve cure rates and minimize side effects in treatments. The NIH will soon issue a research solicitation to determine which AI companies will receive government contracts. Proposals will be evaluated through an 'Open Science Challenge' mechanism, focusing on peer review and innovation potential.
