What is the Million Veteran Program (MVP) and how can I participate? 

Million Veteran Program (MVP)

The VA Greater Los Angeles Healthcare system is a recruiting site for the nationwide Million Veteran Program (MVP), a research study that is open to all Veterans using VA healthcare. The project involves a one-time visit with an MVP research coordinator, filling out questionnaires at home, and providing a blood sample. Researchers will use the questionnaire data, information from the Veteran’s electronic medical record, and genetic testing on the blood sample to study causes of disease in Veterans. The contact for the MVP study at VA Greater Los Angeles is AskMVP@va.gov.

For general information about the Million Veteran Program, visit https://www.mvp.va.gov/pwa/ or call toll-free at 866-441-6075.
