Expressing support for the designation of May 17, 2025, as "DIPG Awareness Day" to raise awareness and encourage research into cures for diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG) and pediatric cancers in general.

This resolution advocates for the designation of May 17, 2025, as "DIPG Awareness Day" to highlight the severe impact of diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG) and pediatric cancers. It aims to raise public awareness about DIPG, which is a leading cause of cancer-related death in children, and the critical need for increased research funding. The resolution specifically encourages expanded research to better understand DIPG, develop effective treatments, and provide comprehensive care for affected children and their families. Furthermore, it urges both public and private research funding sources to consider the high mortality rate and significant life-years lost due to a type of cancer as crucial factors during the grant application process, thereby prioritizing research into devastating diseases like DIPG.
