In Creative Forces Clinical Research: A Strategic Framework and Five Year Agenda, the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) lays out its plans for adding a research component to its military healing arts partnership with the U.S. Department of Defense and state arts agencies. The NEA developed the new research agenda in response to the clinical needs of military service members and veterans coping with traumatic brain injury and post-traumatic stress. Forthcoming research will focus on targeted deployment of arts therapies interventions, arts therapies in integrated care and cotreatment, and measurement of patient characteristics vis-à-vis treatment variables and outcomes. This work will add to the collection of research and scholarly manuscripts already produced or being developed by the Creative Forces clinical team and its research collaborators.
