Breast Cancer Research Program

Abstract

The Office of the Congressionally Directed Medical Research Programs (CDMRP) was born in 1992 from a powerful grassroots effort led by the breast cancer advocacy community that resulted in a congressional appropriation of funds for breast cancer research. This initiated a unique partnership among the public, Congress, and the military. Since then, the CDMRP has grown to encompass multiple targeted programs and has received $6B in appropriations from its inception through fiscal year 2010 (FY10). Funds for the CDMRP are added to the Department of Defense (DOD) budget, in which support for individual programs, such as the Breast Cancer Research Program (BCRP) is allocated via specific guidance from Congress.
