Peer Reviewed Cancer Research Program (PRCRP)

by the CDMRPs

About:

The Peer Reviewed Cancer Research Program (PRCRP) is a funding initiative of the Department of Defense (DoD) that supports innovative cancer research. Established in 2009, the program aims to promote and fund cutting-edge cancer research that addresses the needs of military service members, veterans, and their families, as well as the general public. The PRCRP supports a wide range of research topics, including cancer prevention, detection, diagnosis, and treatment, and has a particular focus on supporting research that is high-risk, high-reward, and likely to make a significant impact in the field of cancer research. The program is administered by the Congressionally Directed Medical Research Programs (CDMRP) and is funded through the Department of Defense’s annual appropriations.
