President Joe Biden will announce Tuesday he is putting $150 million in new federal funding toward developing technology to better help surgeons successfully remove cancerous tumors, the White House said. The award, to be announced during a visit to New Orleans, is the latest infusion of cash in Biden's "Cancer Moonshot," a program spearheaded by the president and the First Lady that aims to reduce the U.S. cancer death rate by at least half by 2047. In its first two years, the administration has invested more than $400 million to fast-track progress on how to prevent, detect and treat cancer, the White House said. The eight award recipients include Dartmouth College, Johns Hopkins University, and the University of Washington, according to the White House.
