The CDMRP manages research programs that address a spectrum of diseases, conditions and injuries directed by the U.S. Congress. Each program’s unique strategic objectives share the common goals of accelerating progress, advancing paradigm-shifting research, developing cutting-edge technologies, and identifying breakthroughs to save and improve lives. The journey from scientific discovery to a fielded product is lengthy, sometimes spanning decades, and typically involves financial contributions from many public and private funders. This webpage presents clinical advancements achieved in part through CDMRP-funded research.
