USU Center for the Study of Traumatic Stress, DARPA collaborate to ‘STRENGTHEN’ mental health
Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences (USU)

Since 9/11, more than 30,000 service members and veterans have taken their own lives – a devastating toll that represents four times the number of those killed in post-911 military operations. To help reduce and eliminate suicide, the Uniformed Services University’s Center for the Study of Traumatic Stress (CSTS) has partnered with the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) on a muti-study program designed to target and optimize brain circuits associated with suicide. CSTS, part of USU’s Department of Psychiatry, will provide consultation and support to DARPA and study teams for the new program – Strengthening Resilient Emotions and Nimble Cognitions through Engineering Neuroplasticity, or STRENGTHEN. STRENGTHEN will involve a multitude of studies led by Columbia and Harvard universities, McLean Hospital, and the University of Wisconsin, Madison. Ultimately, this research aims to develop treatments that will enhance cognitive flexibility – the skill of adapting one’s t
