For more than 95 years, VA’s Research and Development program has been improving the lives of Veterans — and all Americans — through health care discovery and innovation.
Our priorities are simple:
- Expanding Veterans’ access to high-quality clinical trials
- Increasing the real-world impact of VA research
- Putting VA data to work for Veterans
- Actively promoting diversity, equity and inclusion
- Building community through VA research
The results of meeting those goals can be profound. Through dynamic collaborations with university partners, other federal agencies, nonprofit organizations and private industry, our research teams are engaged throughout the nation, furthering the impact our work can have on the health of Veterans and the public.
That’s because a majority of VA researchers also provide direct patient care within the VA system, giving them firsthand insight into Veterans’ health needs. With this hands-on experience under our belts, we understand the impact we can have, and that fuels our desire to innovate.
