The USAMRMC manages biomedical research and development programs that are part of the Department of Defense (DoD). Congressional appropriations totaling over $6 billion for fiscal years 1992 to 2012 (FY92-FY12) assigned to the USAMRMC are managed by the office of the Congressionally Directed Medical Research Programs (CDMRP), a subordinate organization within the USAMRMC.

The CDMRP is responsible for planning, coordinating, integrating, programming, budgeting, and executing the research programs. The CDMRP s flexible execution and management cycle includes the receipt of annual congressional appropriations, new research programs stakeholders meeting, vision setting, release of request for preproposals or applications, preproposal screening and invitation to submit full applications, full applications receipt and review, recommendation of grants for funding, and oversight of research grants.
