This report addresses the question of whether it is possible and desirable to augment the appropriated dollars for CDMRP with funding from other sources. The answer to the of whether it is possible rests on an analysis of nonfederal sources of funding and mechanisms that may be available to access them, as well as potential impediments to that process. The answer to whether it is desirable rests on an analysis of how these other sources and funding mechanisms might affect the goals and effectiveness of CDMRP. Desirability also depends on how “augmentation” is defined. Augmentation of funding that increases public health, for example, by creating a critical mass of knowledge or skills, or by joining complementary resources that are needed to solve a problem, or by enabling results that would not otherwise be possible, is more desirable than augmentation that only serves to extend program funds, especially if the additional funds are not newly applied to biomedical research and are simply shifted from other biomedical research uses.
