The GHERI is funded through Defense Health Program (DHP) RDT & E funds in accordance with guidance from OASD(HA) and DHA R & E. The GHE research needs of the warfighter are expressed by the regular demand signal of the Joint Force through the Joint Staff Surgeon's Office and the Combatant Commands (CCMD) Surgeons' Offices. This demand signal is captured through ongoing coordination between the CCMDs Surgeons' Offices, the Military Services, and CGHE.
