WHO WE ARE
The Defense Health Research Consortium was formally established in 2014 to bring together the diverse community of patient advocacy organizations, medical provider groups, veterans’ organizations, research advocacy groups, and private sector interests — all with the single purpose of protecting and preserving funding for the Congressionally Directed Medical Research Programs (CDMRPs).
Since the DHRC’s establishment, the overall funding level for the CDMRP has doubled from approximately $600 million to more than $1.2 billion – in no small measure due to the advocacy of the DHRC and its members. The DHRC has also worked to defeat legislative measures that would have terminated many of the CDMRP programs, or severely restricted the kinds of research funded by the program.
Since its inception, the Consortium has grown to two dozen members, but a greater level of participation is needed to ensure the maximum level of success.
