The U.S. Defense Health Agency awarded a $2,728,777 Project Grant under the Military Medical Research and Development program (CFDA 12.420) to the Rector & Visitors of the University of Virginia (UVA) to conduct research on "Neuroactive Steroid Biosynthesis and Dynamic GABAA Receptor Reconfiguration in Postpartum Depression". The 4-year grant, which began on May 1, 2025 and runs through April 30, 2029, will enable UVA to carry out cutting-edge biomedical research aimed at improving health outcomes for military service members, veterans, and the broader public. The research will focus on exploring the role of neuroactive steroids and GABAA receptor dynamics in postpartum depression, a condition that disproportionately affects women in the military. As a leading research university with expertise in areas like medicine, neuroscience, and psychology, UVA is well-positioned to undertake this important scientific investigation under the Defense Health Agency's Military Medical Research and Development program.
