Sickle-cell-awareness
The Consortium of Health and Military Performance (CHAMP), Uniformed Services University (USU) is conducting a study to better understand the association between SCT and EREs. This study will search for genetic markers of EREs in individuals with SCT.

Upon completion of all study requirements, participants may be compensated

Participants will be required to do the following:
  • Sign the Informed Consent Document (ICD) and HIPAA authorization form to grant access to medical information related to SCT and ERE
