[1] HJF serves as a link between the military medical community, federal and private partners, and American service members, veterans, and civilians who benefit from the foundation's research.

HJF works with a variety of programs, from large multi-site clinical trials to small, bench top projects, both nationally and abroad.

The office's achievements vividly illustrate a tremendous untold story about military medicine: its commitment to sharing advances with service members and civilians alike.

Contracting through the Defense Department, HJF supports the work of the U.S. Army Medical Research Directorate-Africa in Nairobi, Kenya; Dar es Salaam, Tanzania; and Kampala, Uganda.

Created in 2013 and funded by the Department of Defense's Defense Health Program, the program "brings together clinicians and scientists to gather and analyze information ranging from simple observation to bio-banked tissue samples, and makes the resulting data available for use in computerized statistical models that, critically, produce decision guidance tools that can quickly be used to improve clinical practice and outcomes.
