Thanks to the efforts of many prostate cancer patients like you, the Department of Defense, Congressionally Directed Medical Research Programs Congressionally Directed Medical Research Programs (CDMRP), the Prostate Research Program (PCRP) has been funded by Congress for over 20 years. Since its establishment, the PCRP has received Congressional Appropriations over $1.53 billion and has funded more than 3,158 awards. Congress has funded the PCRP for FY 2018 in the amount of $100 Million.

Malecare has interviewed and recommended consumer reviewers for ten years. Everyone here is a member of our online support group....some of you are active volunteers in our national advocacy program....you will all be recommended by and represent Malecare. Representing Malecare and our prostate cancer community is rewarding and gratifying.

You are invited to represent the voice of the Prostate Cancer community by reviewing the impact of proposed research applications. Please email me at [e-mail] if you are interested.

Novice consumer reviewers will serve on scientific peer review panels, together with scientist reviewers, to review research applications submitted to CDMRP for funding.

1. The electronic nomination form, a fillable PDF, to be completed and sent by the nominee

If one doesn’t have an organization to nominate one, then there is no point in applying?
