Congressionally Directed Medical Research Programs leadership to visit Chapel Hill
Exploring CDMRP Biomedical Research Funding Opportunities in North Carolina
The Office of Research Development is pleased to welcome leadership from the Congressionally Directed Medical Research Programs (CDMRP) to Chapel Hill for an insightful overview and discussion about CDMRP programs. This event will be open to UNC faculty, regional institutions, and industry partners to learn about updates to programs and funding opportunities for 2025, as available, and provide strategies for success in applying.
CDMRP is funded through the Department of Defense (DoD), via annual Congressional legislation known as the Defense Appropriations Act. The programs collectively provide nearly $1.5 billion annually in research funding.
Following the overview session, attendees are encouraged to join one of three breakout sessions led by CDMRP personnel for additional program-specific information, strategy, and networking.
- Women's Health Research and Initiatives Across Programs (presented by Dr. Rebecca Fisher, Deputy Director for Program Management at the Congressionally Directed Medical Research Programs)
- Programs in Cancer (presented by Dr. Theresa Miller, Program Manager for Kidney Cancer Research Program and Neurofibromatosis Research Program)
- Programs in Neurological Health, Psychological Health, and Substance Use (presented by Ms. Michelle Lane, Program Manager for Alcohol and Substance Use Disorders Research Program, Lead Coordinator across Psychological Health programs)
