The Roskamp Institute, Inc. received a $770,000 Project Grant from the Defense Health Agency under the Military Medical Research and Development program (CFDA 12.420) effective September 1, 2026, through August 31, 2029. The grant funds research to identify immune signatures linked to military-related toxicant exposure that can serve as biomarkers for Gulf War Illness (GWI) diagnosis and therapeutic response monitoring. This three-year initiative will deliver translational research outputs including immunological characterization studies, biomarker validation work, and diagnostic tools that support improved clinical recognition and treatment assessment for service members affected by GWI—a chronic multisystem condition affecting veterans of the 1991 Persian Gulf War. The research aligns with the Defense Health Agency's broader portfolio supporting biomedical solutions addressing service member health outcomes. The Roskamp Institute, a tax-exempt nonprofit biotechnology research organization headquartered in Sarasota, Florida, brings specialized expertise in neuroscience research, including prior work in traumatic brain injury and organophosphate neurotoxicity relevant to GWI pathophysiology. Deliverables from this award are expected to advance understanding of immune-mediated mechanisms underlying GWI and contribute evidence-based biomarkers applicable to military medical practice.Federal Grant Award Summary
