Military Operational Medicine (USUHS)

Abstract

For the Uniformed Services of the Health Sciences (USUHS), this program element supports basic medical research at the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences (USUHS). It facilitates the recruitment and retention of faculty; supports unique research training for military medical students and resident fellows; and allows the University’s faculty researchers to collect pilot data towards military relevant medical research projects in order to secure research funds from extramural sources (estimated $295 million annually). Approximately 108 intramural research projects are active each year, including 25 faculty start-ups. Projects are funded on a peer-reviewed, competitive basis. Results from these studies contribute to the fund of knowledge intended to enable technical approaches and investment strategies within Defense Science and Technology (S&T) programs. The ILIR program at USUHS is designed to answer fundamental questions of importance to the military medical mission of the Department of Defense in the areas of Combat Casualty Care, Infectious Diseases, Military Operational Medicine, and Chemical, Biological, and Radiologic Defense. The portfolio of research projects will vary annually because this research is investigator-initiated. Examples of typical research efforts are detailed in R-2a.
