In addressing annual appropriations bills, many Members frequently seek information on enacted levels for such funding under the Congressionally Directed Medical Research Programs (CDMRP). CDMRP Administration and Funding The CDMRP is a Department of Defense (DOD) program that receives congressional appropriations explicitly for biomedical research in specific, congressionally identified health matters. As such, it is not part of the President's budget request for the DOD. The U.S. Army Medical Research and Development Command (USAMRDC), with oversight from the Defense Health Agency, administers the CDMRP and is responsible for awarding and managing competitive grants. Congress usually inserts CDMRP funding as Undistributed Medical Research in the Defense Health Program's Research, Development, Test, and Evaluation (RDT&E) account in the annual DOD appropriation. Congressional documents accompanying the annual defense appropriation act (i.e., conference reports or explanatory statements) identify the specific research areas for a given fiscal year. The Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023 (P.L. 117-328) inserted $1.561 billion into the RDT&E account for CDMRP. This amount comprises 51% of the overall Defense Health Program's RDT&E appropriation, as reflected in Figure 1. Biomedical research conducted by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency or other military research agencies is not included in this account. Figure 1.
