2020 - $110 million for the Department of Defense Prostate Cancer Research Program

[pjoshea13]

This is an increase of $10 million over 2019.

For those interested, here are the PubMed PCa DoD-related clinical trial papers since inception:

ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/?te...

21 trials - about one a year.

Money also goes to other forms of research.

Unfortunately, in "real" dollars, re adjusted for inflation, $110 million CDMRP funding is barely more than last decade. We need "real" advocacy for attaining $180-200 million annual federal funding for the CDMRP. We can't leave advocacy to organizations who are more focused on raising pharma money and doing road races. All of our nonprofits must work together. I hope that this years, "year end" fundraising drive for Malecare will give us sufficient funds so that we be more robust. We've been successful in raising CDC prostate cancer research funding by $13.4million for each of 2016 and 2017, essentially advocating solo. That's nearly $27 million that Malecare insured for research, with a tiny advocacy budget and little to no help from other organizations. I hate sounding like a broken record (are we the last to remember what a broken record sounds like?) but, everyone, please donate as much as you can at malecare.org/donate

How does this level for Pca compare to that associated with Breast Cancer?

"The FY19 Defense Appropriation provides $130 million (M) to the Department of Defense Breast Cancer Research Program (BCRP)"

Thanks

FY19 Defense Appropriation provided $100 million (M) to the Department of Defense Prostate Cancer Research Program (PCRP) and $130 million to Breast Cancer Research Program

[Darryl Partner]

According to the CDMRP (I just got off the phone with them), they say they haven't received a number for FY 2020, and there's nothing online, so, as of right now, we can not compare the FY2020 Prostate and Breast cancer research numbers.
