Research Programs

The Foundation supports a wide variety of research programs, ranging from small benchtop projects to complex, multi-site programs. The breadth of our scientific and management capabilities is evident from the types of programs we conduct.

U.S. Military HIV Research Program - A worldwide leader in HIV research, this program was created to help prepare and protect our troops from the potential health challenges that come from deployment to HIV-endemic areas around the world.

Center for Prostate Disease Research - Based at the Uniformed Services University, this comprehensive research program is providing valuable contributions to prostate cancer research.

The Defense and Veterans Brain Injury Center - This facility delivers state-of-the-art clinical care and conducts innovative clinical research on traumatic brain injury (TBI). 

USU Regional Center of Excellence - The Uniformed Services University is part of a Mid-Atlantic region university consortium that was selected in 2003 as one of eight national Regional Centers of Excellence for Biodefense and Emerging Infectious Diseases Research (RCE). 

Dengue Fever Vaccine Development - During 2003, a team of researchers at the Naval Medical Research Center (NMRC), led by Capt. Kevin Porter, M.D., received notification of a major award from the Gates Foundation to continue their work on developing a DNA vaccine for dengue viruses. 

Biological Defense Research Directorate - For nearly 15 years, the Biological Defense Research Directorate (BDRD) at the Naval Medical Research Center has researched ways to protect military personnel in the event of a biological attack. 

Clinical Breast Care Project - Researchers with the Clinical Breast Care Project (CBCP) are among those leading the way to develop innovative approaches to eradicate breast cancer. 

Comprehensive Neuroscience Program - The Comprehensive Neuroscience Program (CNP) promotes research that will help improve prevention, diagnostics and treatment of neurological disorders. 

Warfighter Refractive Eye Surgery Program - The U.S. Army Medical Command established the Warfighter Refractive Eye Surgery Program as an initiative to enhance solders' readiness and to reduce their dependence on traditional corrective methods. 

Project PHIDISA - This HIV research initiative based in South Africa is currently developing an infrastructure that will support a four-arm clinical trial. It uses combinations of antiretroviral drugs currently being administered in the U.S. and around the world. 

Enteric Diseases Research at NMRC - The Naval Medical Research Center is actively pursuing vaccines for enterotoxigenic E. coli, and Campylobacter jejuni - two of the most common causes of diarrhea in deployed forces. 

Malaria Research Program - Researchers with the Navy's Malaria Research Program have made significant advances in combating this malevolent disease. 

Coronary and Prostate Disease Reversal Program - This program examines whether changes to diet and lifestyle will have a significant impact on the health of people suffering from coronary heart disease and prostate cancer. 

The USU Center for the Study of Traumatic Stress - Through a process of education and consultation, this program seeks to assuage the harmful effects of stress that may be experienced by people in extremely traumatic situations. 

U.S. Military Cancer Institute (USMCI) - Designed to promote cancer prevention, treatment and research, the institute amalgamates the research expertise of the Army, Navy and Air Force. 

Health Disparities Research Program - This program investigates the health disparities within ethnic and racial minority populations and underserved majority populations. 

USU Clinical Pharmacology Unit (CPU) - Situated at the National Naval Medical Center (NNMC) in Bethesda, Md., this modern clinical research laboratory has been used as a center for numerous clinical trials. 

HIV Research at USU - Worldwide, 14,000 people become infected with HIV every day. USU researchers are developing a vaccination regimen that could eventually lead to a successful HIV vaccine. 

Deployment Health Clinical Center Infectious Disease - Lt. Col. Duane Hospenthal, Chief of the Infectious Disease Service at Brooke Army Medical Center, is engaged in a wide range of research endeavors, including the study of leptospirosis and projects related to fungal infections. 

Proteomics Research at USU - Using cutting-edge technology, USU researchers are studying the proteins of cystic fibrosis patients in an effort to develop innovative 3-D proteomics.
