Supporting the Health & Future of Military Kids: Highlighting Two Efforts at NHRC

At the Naval Health Research Center (NHRC), we use science and research to support the youngest members of our military community. Two projects within our Deployment Health Research Department—the Department of Defense (DoD) Birth and Infant Health Research (BIHR) program and the Millennium Cohort Family Study—focus on the health of service members and their families. Researchers study exposures and experiences, particularly those unique to military service, and whether they have an impact on the physical or mental health of military children.
