Closing the gaps in service member health research
Hormonal health, metabolic fitness, traumatic brain injury, and post-traumatic stress disorder all have profound implications for readiness, recovery, and long-term quality of life — yet remain insufficiently studied in operational populations. We're working to change that.
Focus areas
Hormonal Health & Metabolic Disease
Investigating the impact of operational stress, toxic exposures, and sustained physical demands on endocrine function and metabolic health in military and veteran populations.
Traumatic Brain Injury & Recovery
Advancing understanding of TBI mechanisms, improving diagnostic tools, and expanding access to evidence-based recovery protocols for blast-related and impact injuries.
Post-Traumatic Stress & Emerging Therapies
Supporting research into novel and evidence-based therapeutic approaches for PTSD, including investigational approaches such as psychedelic-assisted therapy (currently under clinical investigation), neurofeedback (showing preliminary promise), and integrative treatment models.
Personalized Medicine & Treatment Outcomes
Generating evidence on the safety, effectiveness, and real-world outcomes of personalized medicine approaches for service members and veterans, including clinician-directed treatment pathways for service-related health conditions when standard approaches are insufficient.
Health is readiness
The health of individual service members is inseparable from the readiness of the force and the security of the nation. When gaps exist in understanding the conditions that affect those who serve — from hormonal disruption to traumatic brain injury — the consequences extend far beyond individual suffering. They affect unit cohesion, operational capacity, recruitment pipelines, and the long-term costs of veteran care.
By investing in research that addresses these underserved areas, we strengthen not only the individuals who serve but the institutions and systems designed to support them.
