KBR awarded contract to aid military neuroscience research

KBR joined forces with The Henry M. Jackson Foundation for the Advancement of Military Medicine, or HJF, on a contract to support neuroscience research for service members. This new award will specifically focus on those affected by traumatic brain injuries. Research will be done in collaboration with the Uniformed Services University and the University of California San Francisco, or UCSF. Under the terms of the Service Personnel Advancing Research in Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy, or SPARC, contract, KBR will provide outreach, education and data analytics to support critical neuroscience research for the prevention and treatment of military members with chronic traumatic encephalopathy, or CTE. The cost-plus-fixed-fee contract, with the potential for a term of 52 months, will also assist in the development of therapeutics to treat this serious illness.
