Thank You for Helping Us Reach Our Goal! Our Advocacy Team recently achieved its No. 1 goal for this legislative session by getting the United States Senate to include scleroderma as an approved condition that can receive research funds through the Department of Defense Peer Review Medical Research Program (PRMRP), opening up an additional $247.5 million in federal funding for scleroderma researchers to apply for. Thus proving, our approach works! It is now very important that we express our gratitude to the Senate offices that assisted the scleroderma community with this effort. We encourage you to send a “thank you” with the Senate staffers you have engaged about this topic. We’ve made it easy for you to thank your Senate offices with a sample e-mail/phone message below. Visit scleroderma.org/advocacy to find your senator’s contact information. Dear ______, I was delighted to see that “scleroderma” is listed as a condition eligible for study through the Peer-Reviewed Medical Research program within the Committee Report accompanying the Senate’s FY 2015 Defense Appropriations Bill. I want to extend my thanks on behalf of the community of individuals affected by scleroderma for your assistance in this regard. The opportunity to participate in these research activities is incredibly meaningful to veterans, active duty military personnel, and the broader scleroderma community. Thank you again for your support and hard work. Sincerely, ______
