$356 million in federal funding

More funding.
More research.
More hope.

Rally Foundation leads the charge for funding from the Department of Defense (DOD) Congressionally Directed Medical Research Program (CDMRP). In nine years, our collective voices have secured $356 million for cancers that affect children, adolescents and young adults, resulting in 298 new federally-funded research projects.

Helpful Submission Tips and Insights

Rally hosted a webinar with Dr. Sagar Ghosh, CDMRP program manager. Dr. Ghosh provided expert insights and best practices for completing and submitting your DOD grant application.
