The FMHS of the University of Defence provides and solves research tasks for the Czech Armed Forces Medical Service. It managed to set up scientific teams which are able to use advanced laboratory technologies. It has its own complex laboratory technologies for scientific work above all within the sphere of life force protection against NBC agents. The high scientific level and the achieved results in scientific and research activities of present teams have enabled to start scientific cooperation with foreign partners. The FMHS is the only one in the Czech Republic who provides military research within the sphere of CBRNE issues in NATO and EU.

The high level of the present teams has enabled to start scientific cooperation with partners in NATO countries, which is financed by the NATO and EU funds. Within the sphere of the science and research, the FMHS fulfilled strategic purposes of the Czech Armed Forces transformation by targeting the enunciated priorities (biological agents, chemical agents, military health care), furthermore it reached joining the appropriate institutions and organizational structures of NATO and EU countries (including drawing financial NATO and EU funds) and it gained some priority results in enunciated areas. From the point of view of specialization and direction of the Czech Armed Forces, the departments of the FMHS solve medical issues of biological, chemical and radiation protection. Previous as well as contemporary scientific production within the sphere of observation of medical aspects of NBC agents affection is the subject „Centre of Advanced Studies“ with CBRNE protection issues in the Army of the Czech Republic. It fully corresponds with set priorities in the field of scientific and research work of the Army of the Czech Republic. The military medical service organization and management, information systems, research activities of clinical and therapeutic preventive branches are the other important fields of scientific work.

A lot of invitations and speeches at international symposia and conferences as well as a great number of publications prove that scientific knowledge is used in education. The FMHS personnel can publish achieved results in research work, therapeutic preventive activities and in educational activities in the journal "Vojenské zdravotnické listy" (Military Medical Journal), which is the oldest military specialized journal which has been being published since 1927. Together with professional scientific and pedagogical activities there are also results in lecture and publication areas. They are a part of evaluation, which is carried out annually. The faculty is successful in keeping a good level of publication activities in impact factor journals and in other national and foreign journals with review proceedings. This fact enables relatively wide training activities in accredited doctoral study programmes.

Nowadays the Faculty participates in 22 projects of defence research, 5 projects of Internal Grant Agency of the Ministry of Health, 5 project of the Ministry of Education, 6 projects of the Grant Agency of the Czech Republic, 5 foreign projects (NATO, EC). The total sum of research grants represents the amount of 62 mil. Czech Crowns. The accreditation award for the Vivarium in the field of biological and medical science is an important step to realize a lot of research and experimental work on laboratory animals.

Scientific, research and development activities in the field of medical support include prevention, diagnosis and treatment of sick and wounded. An integral part of this work is to improve the system of medical equipment administration and supply support.

Research and development is carried out at 9 departments (Epidemiology, Field Internal Medicine, Field Surgery, General and Emergency Medicine, Military Hygiene, Military Medical Service Organization, Public Health, Radiobiology, Toxicology) and in the Institute of Molecular Pathology, and the Centre of Advanced Studies.

In 2009, scientific work at the faculty departments, the institute and the centre was focused on CBRNE protection research, prevention in hygiene and epidemiology, topical problems of field surgery and field internal medicine, topical problems of organization, management, education and information science in the Military Medical Service.

The received accreditation for proceedings to promote a professorship for the branches of Hygiene, Occupational Medicine, Epidemiology, Toxicology, Field Internal Medicine and Molecular Pathology and the accreditation for habilitation (associate professor) in the branches of Hygiene, Occupational Medicine and Epidemiology, Toxicology, Field Surgery, Military Radiobiology, Field Internal Medicine and Molecular Pathology gives the evidence about the excellent level of achieved results in scientific and research activities of FMHS. In 2009 there were 10 professors (prof.), 12 associate professors (doc.), 4 doctors of science (DrSc.), 54 persons with research degrees (CSc., Ph.D.) who carried out teaching and research tasks.
