recently issued a new opportunity for investigators to engage with the Department of Defense (DOD) on biomedical and health-related research. The Congressionally Directed Medical Research Program (CDMRP) recently launched a new feedback submission feature to its website. Investigators can use the form to submit an abstract for feedback or ask questions. Further, stakeholders now have the option to provide input on programs and process recommendations, as well as submit reviewer nominations and other feedback. The form and submission instructions are available at\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/cdmrp.health.mil\/contact.aspx\">the website<\/a>. This tool demonstrates interest in expanding interactions with the research community beyond annual Broad Agency Announcements (BAAs) and CDMRP funding opportunity announcements (FOAs). Interested investigators are strongly encouraged to use these mechanisms to build and to improve relationships with MRMC.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><a style=\"text-decoration: none;\" href=\"#top\">BACK TO TOP\u2191<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Funding Opportunity Programs New Opportunity to Engage USAMRMC for Health and Biomedical Research The U.S. Army Medical Research and Materiel Command (USAMRMC) recently issued a new opportunity for investigators to engage with the Department of Defense (DOD) on biomedical and health-related research.
