  Project X is a new SRF linac based multi-MW class proton source proposed for construction at Fermilab. It consists of a 3 MW, 1 mA CW H SRF linac that feeds an intensity frontier Physics program and a 3-8 GeV pulsed linac that accelerates ~5% of the output of the CW linac to 8 GeV for injection into the Fermilab Main Injector synchrotron resulting in an additional 2 MW of beam power at 60-120 GeV in support of a world class long baseline neutrino program. The project has chosen operating frequencies that are sub-harmonics of 1.3 GHz and is developing 6 separate cavity designs for acceleration of H particles with various velocities. An R&D program is in progress to develop these cavities; the associated cryomodules; and the required fabrication and test infrastructure. A status and progress report on this R&D program will be presented.
