The Iowa Veterans of Foreign Wars Foundation is deeply committed to advancing the health and well-being of those who have served our nation and the families who stand beside them. Through our Medical Research mission, we dedicate resources to supporting and conducting studies that address the unique physical and mental health challenges faced by America’s military members, Veterans, and their loved ones.

Our focus extends beyond traditional healthcare initiatives. We actively invest in innovative research that seeks to improve treatments, preventive care, rehabilitation methods, and quality of life for those who have borne the burden of service. Whether exploring advancements in traumatic brain injury recovery, post-traumatic stress therapies, prosthetic technology, or long-term Veteran wellness, our aim is to turn scientific discovery into tangible solutions that restore strength, independence, and hope.

By fostering partnerships with leading universities, hospitals, and Veteran health organizations, the Foundation ensures that research efforts remain both evidence-based and Veteran-centered. Every study we support carries a singular purpose: to honor the sacrifices of our service members by enhancing the care and understanding of their medical needs, today and for generations to come.
