EMAIL DETAILS

I just wanted to let you know that contained within the funding package that
the House and Senate should pass tonight is $80 million for the Prostate
Cancer Research Program at DOD. The PCRP was the only non-combat related
stand alone program that maintained level funding from last year. The
Medical Research Program which is a pot of money used to fund several
smaller research programs was also level funded (at $50 million
respectively).

Only 3 programs received increased funding over last year's funding level ­
Traumatic Brain Injury research, Orthopedic research and Gulf War Illness
research.

All other programs were cut by 20% including Breast Cancer Research and
Ovarian Cancer Research which are generally seen along with the PCRP as the
main programs of the CDRMP because they've been around the longest.

Let me know if you have any questions.
