• Are a current or recent (within the past 3 years) U.S. Active-Duty service member or National Guard member

• Have deployment or mission experience within the past 10 years

• Have experienced a musculoskeletal injury related to training, duties, or deployment

Participation involves:

• One virtual interview lasting approximately 45–60 minutes via secure UNLV Zoom

Participants who complete the interview will receive an electronic Amazon gift card.
