Advocacy: CDMRP Funding Update

Posted by: George Orfanakos

Tagged in: Untagged 

In December  the 111th Congress could not agree on full appropriations bills, so they passed a continuing resolution (CR) to fund the government through March 4.   At the time our guidance was that this  CR would include funding for NF research in the current fiscal year of 13.75mln (equal to FY10).    Now with the  112th Congress convening on January 5th, we are being advised that all non-essential programs are not assured funding through the CR.   Our Government Relations Committee is monitoring the situation closely, and we will be announcing an advocacy plan to support continued funding of the CDMRP-NFRP this year.  Please visit our Advocacy page for more information.

hello, i read the clinical trials on the website and find that most drug trials is targeting plexiform neurofibroma... i just wanna ask, IF a drug can effectively shrink a plexiform, does it work on the normal tumors which appear on the skin??
