Exploring CDMRP Biomedical Research Funding Opportunities in North Carolina
The Office of Research Development is looking forward to welcoming leadership from the Congressionally Directed Medical Research Programs (CDMRP) for an insightful webinar covering CDMRP programs for FY26. This event is open to UNC faculty, regional institutions, and industry partners to learn about updates to programs and funding opportunities and provide strategies for success in applying.
CDMRP is funded through the Department of War (DoW), via annual Congressional legislation. The programs collectively provide nearly $1.3 billion annually in research funding.
Following the overview session, attendees are encouraged to join a breakout session led by CDMRP program managers for additional program-specific information, strategy, and networking in 1) Cancer, 2) Neurological Health, Psychological Health, and Substance Use, and 3) Trauma/Critical Care.
Esteemed presenters include Rebecca Fisher, PhD (Deputy Director for Program Management); Theresa Miller, PhD (Program Manager, Kidney Cancer Research Program and Neurofibromatosis); Michelle Lane, LCSW, CT (Program Manager, Alcohol and Substance Use Disorders Research Program); and Christine Vu, PhD (Program Manager, Combat Readiness – Medical Research Program).
