Mission: To protect and enhance the readiness, performance, and survivability of naval and joint warfighters by conducting operationally relevant environmental health effects, toxicology, and aerospace medical research. The Naval Medical Research Unit Dayton (NAMRU-Dayton) is one of the eight laboratories within the Department of Defense's Navy Medicine Research & Development Enterprise. As a subordinate command to Naval Medical Research Center (NMRC), NAMRU-Dayton is home of the Environmental Health Effects Laboratory (EHEL) and the Naval Aerospace Medical Research Laboratory (NAMRL). We are located at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio. 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.
