PPMD is proud to serve as a member of the Defense Health Research Consortium. Last week, letters were sent to both houses of Congress asking for their continued support for the critical and highly successful defense health research programs funded through the Congressionally Directed Medical Research Programs (CDMRP) at the Department of Defense (DoD). It is particularly important to receive Congressional support during such a complex appropriations period and we are hopeful that both houses will enact a bill prior to the end of the fiscal year.
