This grant is for the purpose of supporting research into Gulf War Illness (GWI). It aims to improve GWI’s definition, diagnosis, and characterization of symptoms, while also deepening the understanding of its pathobiology. The funding encourages basic or clinical developmental research specifically focused on identifying objective measures, such as biomarkers, to differentiate between ill and healthy veterans. Furthermore, it seeks to elucidate potential treatment targets for GWI. Studies exploring the chronic effects of neurotoxic exposures encountered during the Gulf War, or similar dosages, are also welcomed.

| Description: | The IIRA supports research focusing on the complex of symptoms known as Gulf War Illness, improving its definition and diagnosis, characterizing disease symptoms, and better understanding its pathobiology. It is intended to encourage basic or clinical developmental research aimed at identification of objective measures to distinguish ill from healthy veterans (e.g., biomarkers) or elucidate potential treatment targets for GWI. Studies that characterize chronic effects of neurotoxic exposures encountered during the Gulf War (and at comparable dosage) are also acceptable. |
