The National MS Society is pleased to announce that $4.5 million has been appropriated within the FY 2010 Congressionally Directed Medical Research Programs (CDMRP) for multiple sclerosis research. This program is funded through the Defense Department at the direction of Congress and was signed today by the President. This latest appropriation is a continuation of the MS program that was founded in FY 2009.
"This continued opportunity is of great benefit to not only our nation’s 28,000 veterans living with MS, but to everyone and every family touched by the disease," said Joyce Nelson, National MS Society’s President and CEO. "Emerging evidence has shown that combat veterans could be at an increased risk of developing MS. This important ongoing research being conducted under the CDMRP could help us move one step closer to better treatments and a better understanding of the disease."
