Deployment Health Related Research
A number of organizations within the Department of Defense and Department of Veterans Affairs are joined by other government and civilian agencies in conducting research relevant to the entire continuum of deployment health issues.
DHCC Clinical and Health Services Research - The core mission of the DoD Deployment Health Clinical Center (DHCC) is to improve deployment health through optimizing deployment-related healthcare across the Military Health System. This mission is accomplished through a three-pronged strategy which includes Clinical and Health Services Research aimed at advancing the effective delivery of deployment-related healthcare.
DeployMed ResearchLINK - The Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense (DASD) Force Health Protection and Readiness (FHP&R) has developed the DeployMedResearch LINK Web site to provide information about government-funded scientific studies of medical issues experienced by military members during deployments. The site contains information on deployment health-related research within not only DoD, but also the Veterans Administration and the Department of Health and Human Services. This site is a merger of two previous Web sites: Medsearch (which was dedicated to government-sponsored research into the illnesses of Gulf War veterans) and DeployMed (which was a more expansive source of information about military deployments in general, to include the Gulf War of 1991)
The DoD Center for Deployment Health Research is the largest research group at the Naval Health Research Center. The Group was designated as the DoD Center for Deployment Health Research on September 30, 1999 by the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Health Affairs. The Center’s mission includes conducting epidemiological studies to investigate the health experience of military personnel and their families, and the development and evaluation of appropriate health surveillance strategies. Center research includes studies of symptoms, hospitalizations, reproductive health, respiratory illness, and other health concerns of DoD beneficiary populations, both military and civilian.
DoD Congressionally Directed Medical Research Programs (CDRMP) - Deployment Related Medical Research (The CDRMP began managing the DoD Deployment Related Medical Research Program (DRMRP) in fiscal year 2008, in response to the supplemental appropriations bill, Public Law 110-252. This program was established to address the prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and mitigation of deployment-related injuries and psychological health concerns of deployed military personnel.)
