Leidos has won a Naval Health Research Center contract for behavioral health research, operational assessments and data-driven analyses to support the psychological health and operational readiness of armed services members.
The contract has a total value of $56 million over 66 months of performance.
“This program reinforces the need for mission-critical health research in the military community,” said Sarah McNichol, vice president of Behavioral Health & Readiness at Leidos Health.
“It is vitally important we work to improve warfighter readiness by studying the various psychological factors that can impact military populations.”
Under this contract, Leidos will identify the risks, protective measures and interventions that affect the health, performance and readiness of military members during the deployment cycle, the company said.
Leidos will also develop strategies for resilience, informed decision-making, and to reduce adverse outcomes.
The company will leverage its experience in research to help the NHRC translate scientific findings into solutions that improve force readiness and performance in the military.
