Research Week honors pioneering work for Veterans
Special online events third week in May
When the Global War on Terror started, VA knew the possibility of unique injuries. Now, a decade later, Traumatic Brain Injury or TBI is one of those signature issues facing nearly 104,000 Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans who receive VA health care.
Learning more about TBI and developing new treatments is the work of researchers like Dr. David Cifu at the Richmond VA Medical Center in Virginia.
Cifu, a top expert on TBI, is one of eight researchers being recognized this year during National VA Research Week, May 17–21. The theme of this year’s event is “One Team, One Mission.”
