Consumer Involvement

“My participation as a consumer in a peer review panel was one of the most uplifting experiences of my life. It gave me an insight to the enormous energy and creativity that exists in the research community, it showed me the seriousness of the selection process to maximize the outcome from limited funds, and it gave me a chance to help the scientists remain close to the main concerns of those affected by the disease.”
--- Miguel Lessing, FY04 NFRP Consumer Review Panel Member

Consumers are patients, survivors, and family members of people living with disease.

The unique voice and experiences of patients, survivors, family members and advocates play a pivotal role in the Congressionally Directed Medical Research Programs. As active members of the program, consumers take part in discussing program priorities and making funding recommendations.
