About this award
The Department of Veterans Affairs' Veterans Integrated Service Network 1 awarded a $230,000 firm fixed-price purchase order to Dartmouth-Hitchcock Clinic for a one-year deep brain stimulation research study. The contract, which commenced on September 17, 2025, and concludes on September 16, 2026, supports the VA's National Center for PTSD mission to advance clinical care for veterans with post-traumatic stress disorder and traumatic brain injury. The research will be conducted jointly between White River Junction VA Healthcare System and Dr. Wilder Doucette's laboratory at Mary Hitchcock Memorial Hospital, with approximately 25% of work performed at the VA facility and 75% at the research laboratory. The study aims to develop personalized interventions for maladaptive fear following TBI and PTSD through targeted brain stimulation combined with brain activity measurement using rodent models.
This award was made under sole source authority, as the contracting officer determined that only one responsible source existed capable of satisfying the agency's requirements. The contract was not subject to set-aside designations and represents a continuation of Dartmouth-Hitchcock Clinic's extensive research partnership with the VA and other federal agencies. The clinic, a non-profit academic medical center, has established significant expertise in veteran-focused research, including prior studies on PTSD, traumatic brain injury, and advanced medical technologies. This contract supports the clinic's broader research portfolio and contributes to the VA's mission of providing innovative clinical interventions and evidence-based treatments for the veteran population.
