Naval Medical Research Unit Dayton

The Naval Medical Research Unit – Dayton (NAMRU-Dayton) is a major DoD medical research command and the home of the Naval Aerospace Medical Research Laboratory and the Environmental Health Effects Laboratory. As a subordinate command to Naval Medical Research Center, NAMRU-Dayton conducts aerospace medical and environmental health effects research to enhance warfighter health, safety, performance and readiness. We address identified Fleet needs and results in products and solutions ranging from basic knowledge to fielded technologies.NAMRU-Dayton’s scientists provide Line commanders and other DoD leaders a ready source of expert consultation. Our scientists participate on DoD scientific panels, scientific advisory boards, root cause and closure analysis teams and provide tailored consultation and subject matter expertise as required.While NAMRU-Dayton is not a training institution, we partner with educational institutions and regional universities to provide students unique, one-of-a-kind research experiences in support of their professional development.NAMRU-Dayton is a completely “reimbursable” research command based on the civilian academic model. As such, we work closely with Type Commanders, Fleet/Force Surgeons and other Line commanders to ensure our research is aligned with the needs of the Fleet, Marine Corps and other military services. In concert with the Line, we seek out interested funding sponsors to resource our research and other projects.The appearance of external links on this site does not constitute official endorsement on behalf of the U.S. Navy or Department of Defense.
