Video Transcription

Video Summary

The speaker discusses the Department of Defense's interest in biomedical research and the congressionally directed medical research programs (CDMRP) within the DoD. They explain that while the perception of DoD research is focused on tanks and tactical warfare, the DoD is also interested in biomedical research due to the people in uniforms and tanks who may require medical treatment. They highlight the opportunities for orthopedic research, sports medicine research, and pain research within the DoD. The CDMRP was started by Congress in 1992 as a new way of conducting biomedical research for breast cancer. The speaker emphasizes that the CDMRP funds research conducted worldwide and is open to collaborations with international researchers, the military, and industry. They outline the two-tier review process used by the CDMRP: scientific peer review and programmatic review, and highlight the inclusion of consumers in the review process. The speaker also discusses the funding opportunities and mechanisms available through the CDMRP and emphasizes the importance of aligning research proposals with the program's focus areas. They provide information on various funding amounts for different programs within the CDMRP. The speaker concludes by encouraging attendees to ask questions and seek guidance from program managers in crafting research proposals.
