IDCRP

Cumulative IDCRP Publications and Publications

The IDCRP was formed in 2005 through an Interagency Agreement between the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) and the Uniformed Services University (USU). The NIAID recognized the untapped resource of the DoD population and thus provided critical support to expand the portfolio of the existing DoD HIV clinical research network to encompass other infectious diseases of military importance. The IDCRP is designed to build broad collaborations among DoD and NIAID investigators as well as develop affiliations with partners from other government agencies, academia and industry, when appropriate and relevant. The program operates at USU through the Henry M. Jackson Foundation for the Advancement of Military Medicine (HJF). The IDCRP draws on the unique strengths of both DoD and NIAID. The Military Healthcare System (MHS) comprises a diverse worldwide group of hospitals and clinics serving as many as 9 million beneficiaries. The IDCRP is poised to leverage the robust clinical and pharmacoeconomic data repositories archived by the MHS, in order to answer key research questions. Through the IDCRP, DoD clinicians and investigators treating military beneficiaries have the ability to partner with experienced NIAID investigators as well as the robust regulatory, and clinical trials monitoring activities associated with the NIAID. Research support is achieved in a different manner than DoD investigators have been accustomed. IDCRP does not “fund” research projects, but instead, incorporates and conducts protocols within its network. IDCRP executes investigator and centrally driven multicenter clinical research.
