DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE - CONGRESSIONALLY DIRECTED MEDICAL RESEARCH PROGRAMS

Eligibility Checklist

MAJ (Ret) David Underwood "CDMRP has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. Not only do I find the material fascinating, but I have had access to some truly great minds, and have found answers for my friends and me in areas we and our doctors could not answer. It is a chance to remain up to speed with what is going on, what is new, and what may be in a few years. It is also an opportunity to be with an incredible group of selfless wounded warriors, and be inspired by them."

- MAJ (Ret) David Underwood, PRORP
