We are continuing to mobilize our community to fight back against the cuts to the Defense Department's Congressionally Directed Medical Research Program (CDMRP) which led to the zeroing out of the $40 million for the Spinal Cord Injury Research Program (SCIRP).

"vehicle", such as an amendment or bill.
