DND wants to better understand how to diagnose moral injuries, prevent them, treat them, and learn what situations are likely to cause them. "We know a lot about post traumatic stress disorder, but moral injury, we know a lot less," he said. He said there hasn't been enough research done on moral injuries and he's glad to hear DND is looking into it. Fournier said about $3.7 million could be on the table for innovators who can help answer the military's questions surrounding moral injuries. "I think we need to get to a place where we realize when we send people to tough spots, moral injuries are part of what's going to happen."
