  The ADVANCE study is a longitudinal prospective cohort study that aims to investigate the cardiovascular, musculoskeletal, mental health and other psychosocial outcomes associated with combat injury in a group of 500+ injured versus 500+ uninjured servicemen over 20 years. The findings on the long-term impact of combat injury on various physiological and psychological health outcomes will help inform and potentially design interventions for this population. The post is funded by the ADVANCE Charity (the key funder of the ADVANCE study) until June 2026 in the first instance.
