More than a decade ago, the MVP team had a dream to build the nation’s largest research program dedicated to improving Veteran health care. What started as a vision of enrolling one million Veterans so that researchers could better understand how genes, lifestyle, military experiences and exposures affect health and wellness, is now a reality as MVP is one of the largest and most diverse research programs of its kind.
