Wounded Warrior Research Enhancement Act
HR 8167, the Wounded Warrior Research Enhancement Act, authorizes $30 million in fiscal year 2025 funding to improve limb replacement devices and care for military personnel, veterans, and civilians who have experienced combat-related amputations, traumatic brain injuries, or other serious physical injuries. The bill directs the Defense and Veterans Affairs Secretaries to award competitive, peer-reviewed research grants focused on preventing amputations, determining optimal treatment timing, developing better materials and technologies, and addressing aging-related challenges with prosthetics. These grants aim to enhance clinical care and quality of life for individuals with limb loss by advancing evidence-based solutions. The law requires annual reports to Congress detailing research progress and priorities.
