DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE - CONGRESSIONALLY DIRECTED MEDICAL RESEARCH PROGRAMS

NEWS RELEASE

Released: April 16, 2007

Dear CMLRP Researchers,

Congress decided to provide some relief for the CDMRP programs from the Continuing Resolution Authority. The language specifically included funds for the Breast, Prostate, and Ovarian Cancer Research Programs ONLY, however, and did not include monies for the CML Research Program for 2007. We remain hopeful that dollars for the CMLRP will be allocated in 2008. Please note that we will continue to monitor the progress of all awards made through the CMLRP through grants management and program evaluation processes. We also will continue to make updates to the CDMRP web site by posting research highlights and consumer profiles.

Please bear with us; we will keep you posted in the coming months. Do not hesitate to contact any of us with questions that you have. Thank you for your support of the CMLRP and for your efforts towards eradicating CML.



With Warm Regards,
The CML Management Team, CDMRP
