The Congressionally Directed Medical Research Programs (CDMRP) originated in 1992 via a Congressional appropriation to foster novel approaches to biomedical research in response to the expressed needs of its stakeholders-the American public, the military, and Congress.

Unlike "caregiver," "care partner" suggests a collaborative relationship between the patient and their support person, in which the patient actively participates rather than passively receives help.
