Congressionally Directed Medical Research Programs
The Department of Defense is seeking breast cancer survivors to participate on the DoD Breast Cancer Research Program scientific peer review program.
There is reimbursed travel, accomodations, meals, and an honorarium of $1250.00 for 2 days in Washington DC. For details: http://cdmrp.army.mil/cwg contact me if interested. Regards Joe |
Re: Congressionally Directed Medical Research Programs
I submitted an application through my work with the UCSF Breast Cancer Spore and got accepted.
I'll be reviewing on June 20-22 in DC. Anyone else going there for this session? If so, I'd love to meet in person. Marcia |
Re: Congressionally Directed Medical Research Programs
Congratulations !!!
We have had other members accepted into the program previously..even had 1 called back for a second term !! I did make one letter of recommendation recently but the DoD hasn't notified me of the status of the application. The Dod will require more reviewers as I understand they received additional grant money through the stimulus program. I will recommend anyone from our organization who applies !! I understand that this is a very worthwhile experience. Regards Joe |
Re: Congressionally Directed Medical Research Programs
Thanks! I'm looking forward to it and hope to contribute to advancing research in any way I can.

Re: Congressionally Directed Medical Research Programs
Hi there-
Joe, I am so sorry I did not follow up with you and Christine. I leave on Wednesday for 3 days in DC. I will let you all know how it goes. I have been very busy reading all the proposals in preperation for the meetings. It is all FACINATING to me. I have been very verbal about what HER2Support.org and all of you have meant to my mental health throughout my journey......and how important this site is to me. Thank you!! Maureen |
Re: Congressionally Directed Medical Research Programs
Maureen,
In the past, the DoD would write me a letter to confirm your acceptance. Congratulations, I am sure that you will have a rewarding experience. Washington this thime of year is great..if you have allergies though, bring medicine. Regards Joe |
Re: Congressionally Directed Medical Research Programs
Hi Joe,
I actually live in DC and would be interested in finding out more information about the program. I work full time, but I could make arrangements with enough notice. Thank you so much, Missy |
Re: Congressionally Directed Medical Research Programs
Hi Joe~
I am going to the same May session as Maureen. My second year running and it is a wonderful and exciting experience! |
Re: Congressionally Directed Medical Research Programs
I put this on the back burner over a year ago when I had to change up treatment, but now I really want to do it... Joe, can you nominate me and write a letter again?
Thanks! Tell me what I need to do on my end... |
