CCF's Federal Advocacy Efforts
CCF has been working with Federal agencies to create new funding options for researchers studying pediatric cardiomyopathy. As a result of CCF's advocacy efforts, the U.S. Department of Defense is now accepting research applications on pediatric cardiomyopathy through their Peer Review Medical Research Program (PRMRP).
Other advocacy priorities include obtaining congressional support of cardiomyopathy-specific language in the FY18 appropriations bill and working with legislators to introduce a bipartisan bill on cardiomyopathy in the House and Senate.
