MVP Research

The Million Veteran Program (MVP) is the nation’s largest biorepository of Veteran data and is one of the most diverse cohorts of any genetic research program in the world.

Thanks to the work and collaborations of 800+ researchers across 100+ projects, MVP data has led to new findings about conditions such as anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), heart disease, kidney disease, cancer, and more.

Publications on the MVP cohort

As of November 2024, there are over 100 ongoing projects with access to MVP data for genomic and epidemiological studies, with over 400 publications since 2018 in journals such as Nature, Cell and PLOS. The goal is that research findings from MVP data will help bring personalized medicine to the forefront of VA health care.
