Welcome to DeployMed ResearchLINK

This web site, DeployMed ResearchLINK, was established as part of FHP&R's Health Science and Force Optimization (HS&FO) mission to inform Service members, researchers & health care providers, leaders, and interested others about DoD and other federally funded research on deployment-related health issues. DeployMed ResearchLINK presents information on deployment medical research conducted and supported by federal research programs within DoD, VA, and HHS. The purpose of this web site is to be a central resource of information on federally funded medical research related to deployments from the 1990-91 Gulf War forward.

The contents of DeployMed ResearchLINK will continue to be updated as information on new deployment-related research becomes available. A concise outline of the breadth of information on this web site is provided in the Summary of Research Information section.
