Congress is in the process of setting Fiscal Year 2026 (FY26) funding levels. Representatives Brian Fitzpatrick (R-PA-1) and André Carson (D-IN-7) are circulating a “Dear Colleague” (request from one Member to another) asking Representatives to sign onto a letter requesting that funding be increased for valuable medical research conducted by the Department of Defense (DOD) through the Congressionally Directed Medical Research Program (CDMRP). Ask your Representative to add their name to this letter in a show of support for DOD-funded R&D and the CDMRP!
