CDMRP Training Sessions
CDMRP is a Department of Defense–funded program that supports high-impact, translational research across a wide range of disease areas relevant to military readiness and broader civilian health. These awards are highly competitive, but they can be an excellent fit for projects focused on diagnostics, devices, therapeutic development, clinical tools, or decision-support platforms, particularly those with clear real-world or operational relevance.

Recently Funded CDMRP Program Areas
In the most recent Peer-Reviewed Medical Research Program (PRMRP) cycle, funding was awarded in the following topic areas (one or more awards per area):
Cardiac Health
Fibrous Dysplasia / McCune-Albright Syndrome
Frontotemporal Degeneration
Hepatitis B
Inflammatory Bowel Disease
Interstitial Cystitis
Maternal Mental Health
Menopause
Multiple Sclerosis
Nephrotic Syndrome
Orthotics and Prosthetics Outcomes
Peripheral Neuropathy
Post-Acute Sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 Infection (Long COVID)
Proteomics
Pulmonary Fibrosis

Scleroderma
Traumatic Brain Injury and Psychological Health
The goal of the first session's format is to empower RD specialists to be more involved with their unit's key and high-impact CDMRP applications. This is a great opportunity for RD teams to learn about DoW mechanisms and to become better-equipped to support CDMRP proposals over time. This workshop is also available for UofU investigators pursuing translational and applied research.
