In 2006-2007, The AA&MDS International Foundation embarked on a strategic awareness and advocacy initiative to secure funding from the Defense Appropriations Act for Congressionally Directed Medical Research Program in a (CDMRP). It was through AAMDSIF’s advocacy that a connection between acquired bone marrow failure and environmental links to bone marrow failure with American veterans, military retirees and civilians was made clear. This was one more way the Foundation has led efforts to find move the needle forward in the search for cures for bone marrow failure diseases.
