Supporting Colorectal Cancer Research
• Lawmakers can demonstrate their commitment to colorectal cancer research by:
– Funding the DoD Peer Reviewed Cancer Research Program (PRCRP).
– Funding the National Cancer Institute (NCI).
Peer Reviewed Cancer Research Program
• Supports research into specific cancers, including colorectal cancer, with relevance to military service members.
• Program is one of several medical research programs under the Congressionally Directed Medical Research Programs (CDMRP)
Peer Reviewed Cancer Research Program
• CDMRP
– Innovative, high-risk/high-reward, research.– Complements, not duplicates, research
conducted through the National Institutes of Health (NIH).
Peer Reviewed Cancer Research Program
• Funding History
– Fiscal Year 2009 - $16 million– Fiscal Year 2010 - $15 million– Fiscal Year 2011 - $16 million– Fiscal Year 2012 - $12.8 million– Fiscal Year 2013 - $16 million (Fight Colorectal
