Description
This program invites organizations to nominate individuals who are active consumer advocates—such as patients, survivors, family members, or caregivers—for participation as peer reviewers on Congressionally Directed Medical Research Programs (CDMRP) panels. The goal is to ensure that the perspectives of those directly affected by diseases, injuries, or conditions are considered during the evaluation and funding of medical research proposals. Selected consumer reviewers participate alongside scientists and clinicians, providing valuable input and holding full voting rights on review panels.
