Coalitions and Advocacy Partnerships

We Can't Do This Alone...

ZERO is proud to partner with organizations to achieve our goals. A united coalition sends a message to Capitol Hill that we as a community are united and ready to advocate for prostate cancer patients, survivors, and their families. These are just a few of the coalitions with which ZERO takes an active role.

National Coalitions

Defense Health Research Consortium (DHRC)

The Defense Health Research Consortium was formally established in 2014 to bring together the diverse community of patient advocacy organizations, medical provider groups, veterans’ organizations, research advocacy groups, and private sector interests — all with the single purpose of protecting and preserving funding for the Congressionally Directed Medical Research Programs (CDMRPs).

One Voice Against Cancer (OVAC)

One Voice Against Cancer (OVAC) is a collaboration of national non-profit organizations representing millions of Americans, delivering a unified message to Congress and the White House on the need for increased cancer-related appropriations.
