AI Summary

This bill directs the Secretary of Defense to establish a grant program to increase cooperation on post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) research between the United States and Israel. The bill finds that PTSD affects a significant percentage of veterans and the general population in both countries, and that current treatment options could be improved through collaborative research. The grant program will provide funding to eligible U.S. academic institutions and nonprofits to conduct joint research projects with Israeli entities on PTSD. The Secretary of Defense is authorized to accept monetary gifts to support the grant program, and must submit reports to Congress on the use and success of the grants. The authority to award grants under this program will terminate 7 years after the first grant is awarded.
