New treatment targets for head and neck cancer in Veterans
This project looks for ways to block a protein called TMEM16A that helps head and neck cancers grow in Veterans.
-
Bone and skin movement inside prosthetic sockets for below-knee amputees
This project uses moving X-ray and CT-based 3D models to measure how bones, skin, and liners move inside the prosthetic socket of people with below-knee amputations during walking and other activities.
-
Hearing help for Veterans in VA Emergency Departments
This project gives hearing-assistance devices to older Veterans with hearing loss who visit VA emergency departments to help them understand care and discharge instructions.
-
Continuous inter-limb stability in veterans with lower limb loss
A study to see if a new way of measuring how smoothly both legs move together can reliably describe mobility in veterans who have lost a leg.
-
Mental contrasting and action plans to help Veterans manage weight in primary care

Veterans will be offered trained Veteran peer navigators to help them understand the pros and cons of PSA screening and prepare for a discussion with their VA primary care provider.
-
Methylphenidate for attention problems in adults with epilepsy
This trial checks whether methylphenidate (a stimulant) can help adults with epilepsy who have trouble with attention and focus.
-
Measuring bone and skin movement in prosthetic limbs for amputees
This study looks at how the part of the leg left after a below-the-knee amputation moves with the prosthetic socket during activities, using special imaging technology to help make prosthetics more comfortable and effective for people like you.
-
Measuring stability in veterans with lower limb loss
This study is looking at a new way to measure how well veterans with a leg amputation can keep their balance and move around, using a special technique that gives a clearer picture of their stability to help improve their rehabilitation.
-
Investigating the role of specific tumor suppressors in bladder cancer
This study is looking at how the loss of a specific gene called CDKN2B might help cause low-grade bladder cancer, and it's for anyone interested in understanding this type of cancer better so we can find new ways to diagnose and treat it.
-
Using mental strategies to help Veterans manage their weight
This study is looking at a new way to help Veterans lose weight and get healthier by using a method called Mental Contrasting with Implementation Intentions, combined with existing programs, to make weight management easier and more effective with support from friendly educators.
-
Improving communication for older veterans with hearing loss in emergency departments
This study is looking at how giving hearing devices to older veterans with hearing loss in VA Emergency Departments can help them better understand medical instructions and have a better experience while getting care.
-
Investigating how lung microbiota affects susceptibility to respiratory infections
This study is looking at how the tiny germs in your lungs might affect your chances of getting sick from respiratory infections, especially for Veterans, and it hopes to find new ways to help improve lung health by understanding how these germs work with your immune system.
-
Using Veteran peer navigators to help men make informed decisions about prostate cancer screening
