MHSRS, a four-day annual event which took place this year from August 14-17 at the Gaylord Palms Resort & Conference Center, provided enterprise personnel with multiple forums to demonstrate the breadth and impact of research done by its eight commands.<\/p>\n

\u201cLeadership in Navy and Military Medicine see that the work we do is relevant across the services,\u201d said Capt. Franca Jones, commander, Naval Medical Research Command (NMRC). \u201cWe are doing work in two important and complimentary lines of effort: not only on behalf of the Navy and Marines, but the entirety of the DoD.\u201d<\/p>\n

Over 130 enterprise personnel attended MHSRS to represent its eight commands: NMRC, Naval Submarine Medical Research Laboratory (NSMRL), Naval Health Research Center (NHRC), Naval Medical Research Unit (NAMRU) Dayton, NAMRU San Antonio, NAMRU INDO PACIFIC, NAMRU-EURAFCENT, and NAMRU SOUTH. Enterprise staff, a group of military, civilian and contractor research, medical and support personnel, participated in a range of conference activities, presenting at breakout sessions, presenting research posters and engaging with stakeholders throughout the military health system.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur enterprise researchers gave an impressive showing at MHSRS again this year,\u201d said Dr. Jill Phan, NMR&D enterprise and NMRC science director. \u201cThey are so dedicated to their work, and it clearly shows with dozens of posters and presentations in topic areas spanning a diverse set of critical research areas, chairing sessions, and winning multiple awards.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAll the while, we\u2019re meeting with collaborators, colleagues, funding sponsors and leadership to take full advantage of being together with our larger community working together to fill gaps and solve problems in military medicine,\u201d Phan added.<\/p>\n

During the opening award ceremony on Monday, NHRC received two awards: for the work done by the Millennium Cohort team to research the long-term physical and behavioral health impacts of service, and by the Command Readiness, Endurance, and Watchstanding (CREW) team for their work in studying sleep habits and fatigue solutions for sailors.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur research staff at NHRC are an outstanding group of professionals,\u201d Capt. Eric Welsh, NHRC commanding officer, observed. \u201cThey are personally invested in the well-being and readiness of our warfighters, and their recognition here at MHSRS shows just that. I am proud to have charge of this great command.\u201d<\/p>\n

Researchers from commands across the enterprise participated in three separate poster presentation sessions during the symposium. Additionally, NMRC and NSMRL earned second place and honorable mention awards out of the hundreds of posters displayed at each session.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m blown away by the quality and breadth of research that our colleagues in military health bring to this symposium every year,\u201d said Cmdr. Brian Pike, NMRC deputy science director. \u201cThe knowledge all of us take away from these presentations informs and strengthens our work on behalf of U.S. service members and our nation.\u201d<\/p>\n

MHSRS is the Department of Defense’s premier scientific meeting that focuses specifically on the unique medical needs of the Warfighter. This annual educational symposium brings together healthcare professionals, researchers, and DoD leaders for four days of critical learning, intensive idea sharing, and relationship building.<\/p>\n

The NMR&D enterprise, led by NMRC, is engaged in a broad spectrum of activity from basic science in the laboratory to field studies in austere and remote areas of the world to investigations in operational environments.<\/p>\n

In support of the Navy, Marine Corps, and joint U.S. warfighters, enterprise researchers study infectious diseases, biological warfare detection and defense, combat casualty care, environmental health concerns, aerospace and undersea medicine, medical modeling, simulation, operational mission support, epidemiology, and behavioral sciences.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
