Pentagon Awards Large Grant to the University of California San Diego

By Bruce Stern

ADVERTISEMENTS

The Department of Defense has awarded $60 million in funding, the largest grant ever, for the study of post-traumatic stress disorder and traumatic brain injury. The grant was given to doctors at the University of California San Diego and several other research hospitals in the area.

The proposed study of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and Traumatic Brain Injuries will research prevention and treatment options for both military personnel and civilians suffering from these conditions.

It is one of the largest research grants the UCSD has ever received, which researchers and doctors alike hope will aid in the cure and prevention of PTSD and TBI. These injuries have been called the “signature” wounds of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. About 300,000 veterans of these conflicts suffer from PTSD or major depression, and about 320,000 likely have sustained brain injuries in the field,  according to a RAND Corp. study released in April.


You can read more on the grant and the research project here.
