Implementing and evaluating a patient-centered ptsd treatment program for military personnel

The Defense Health Agency awarded a four-year, $936,532 Cooperative Agreement to the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio (UTHSCSA) to implement and evaluate a patient-centered PTSD treatment program for military personnel. This award is funded under the Military Medical Research and Development (CFDA 12.420) program, which supports biomedical research to transform healthcare for service members and the public.

Through this Cooperative Agreement, UTHSCSA will conduct research on a novel PTSD treatment approach for military patients. The project aims to develop, implement, and assess the effectiveness of this patient-centered PTSD intervention. UTHSCSA has extensive experience conducting medical research, delivering health services, and providing health professions training through prior federal grants and contracts, including work for the Veterans Health Administration. The University of Texas System has also served as a subrecipient on various federal research grants across diverse scientific domains.
