The Project for Military Exposures and Toxin History Evaluation in U.S. Service Members (PROMETHEUS) is a multi-federal, public-private partnership collaboration to study the impact of environmental exposures on the health of Service Members. PROMETHEUS aims to 1) integrate scientific platforms across agencies; 2) create a process and research ecosystem to integrate or link individual-level datasets of exposures and phenotypic information; and 3) conduct research that leverages exposure, phenotypic, and bio-specimen data, which are specific to the DoD. In the current research study, the research study team will utilize new data and bio-specimens as well as cutting-edge platforms and artificial intelligence (AI) technologies to examine the relationship between deployment-related environmental exposures and cancer. This specimen and data biorepository, along with any results generated from this effort, would be available for future research.
