The national research project began in 2011 and currently is the largest genomic database in the world with nearly 600,000 Veteran volunteers nationwide.
The effort will leverage the latest DOE expertise and technologies in big data, artificial intelligence and high-performance computing to identify trends that will support the development of new treatments and preventive strategies.
VA is leading the way in genomic medicine, the study of DNA to learn about health and diseases. The Million Veteran Program (MVP) is VA’s ambitious initiative to advance genomic research.
This campaign is an integral part of its ongoing outreach to minority Veterans via the Million Veteran Program coordinator program, virtual town hall meetings, lunch and learns sessions with other federal agencies and various collaborative outreach activities with Veteran service organizations and non-governmental partners.
