Summary
The Precision Brain Health Research Act of 2024 modifies the Department of Veterans Affairs' Precision Medicine for Veterans Initiative to expand its focus to include repetitive low-level blast exposure and dementia research. The bill requires the VA to conduct big-data assessments, large-scale implementation studies, translational research on growth hormone therapy, and quality improvement studies for veterans with likely low-level blast injuries. It also mandates a contract with the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine to validate brain and mental health biomarkers, and requires biennial reports to Congress on the initiative's progress. The bill authorizes $5 million annually from fiscal years 2025 through 2034 to support these research activities.
