What this bill does
H.R. 9632, the "Accelerating Innovation (AI) for Kids with Cancer Act," would direct the President, in consultation with the Secretary of Health and Human Services, to appoint a Coordinator of AI Innovation who would sit on the Domestic Policy Council. This person or entity would be tasked with identifying ways to use artificial intelligence to advance the Childhood Cancer Data Initiative (CCDI), including improving clinical trial design, expanding data-sharing platforms, consolidating data for AI analysis, and enhancing predictive modeling and biomarker discovery. The Secretary of HHS would also be directed to integrate AI into ongoing health data interoperability efforts and finalize data standards that protect patient privacy while enabling AI use.
The bill primarily affects federal health agencies, particularly HHS and the CCDI, as well as researchers, clinicians, and patients involved in pediatric cancer research and treatment. It does not create new patient rights or clinical mandates but focuses on federal coordination and infrastructure.
The bill requires a report to Congress within 180 days of enactment detailing implementation. It authorizes unspecified funding for the coordination effort for fiscal years 2027–2031, plus $100 million per year during that period specifically for CCDI-related AI initiatives.
