    What evidence exists that current federal funding levels are insufficient for chordoma research compared to other rare cancers?

  2. 02

    How would increased awareness and research support for chordoma specifically affect patients currently diagnosed with this rare bone cancer?

  3. 03

    Since this resolution expresses intent without mandating spending, what mechanisms would Congress use to actually allocate additional resources to chordoma research?
