The Veteran and Active Duty Longitudinal Outcomes Research (VALOR) Program conducts multidisciplinary research on physical and psychological outcomes of warfighters throughout their lifetime. Through our research, and the contributions of our participants, we aim to share findings that can influence health policies on screening, prevention, and intervention practices. Our ultimate goal is to contribute to improved quality of life, wellness, readiness, and performance of active duty service members and veterans.
The Wounded Warrior Recovery Project is a 15-year, population-based study examining the long-term patient-reported outcomes among U.S. service members injured during deployment. Participants are active duty and veteran Navy, Marine Corps, Army, Air Force, Reserve, and National Guard personnel.

The Millennium Cohort Study is the largest and longest running longitudinal study in military history. Researchers are following service members and veterans over the course of their lifetime, providing critical information that will increase understanding of the long-term health effects of military service.

Military service doesn’t just affect the warfighter. Deployments, service-related experiences, and military life stress can also impact the health and well-being of family members. Our researchers are investigating how military life experiences impact family members and how this dynamic plays a role in the health and readiness of service members.
