Neonatal, perinatal, and pediatric outcomes for children of female flyers

The Henry M. Jackson Foundation For The Advancement Of Military Medicine, Inc. received a $158,998 cooperative agreement award from the Department of Defense Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences to conduct research on neonatal, perinatal, and pediatric outcomes for children of female flyers. This award is part of the Uniformed Services University Medical Research Projects program administered by DOD USUHS under the CFDA number 12.750. The Uniformed Services University's mission is to educate and train uniformed services health professionals, scientists, and leaders to support the Military and Public Health Systems and national security. Under this cooperative agreement, the Foundation will study the health impacts on children born to female military personnel who fly aircraft as part of their service. Results from this research could help the Military better understand health issues in families with parents in high-risk occupations.
