“Now that MVP has surpassed the 1 million mark in terms of enrollees, we now have this critical mass of data where we can actually start translating that into clinical care. So genetic insights, like the ones we're finding from MVP, really help enable this kind of more proactive, preventive approach to health care in the VA and in the Veterans that we take care of.” – Dr. Jason Vassy, VA Physician and Researcher

Protecting Veteran privacy is our top priority

We are committed to protecting information from MVP participants. Information collected as part of MVP is stored in a secure database and is only available for research purposes. Genetic or health information from MVP is not entered in medical records or shared with insurance companies or employers. All MVP data is coded so that MVP researchers do not have full access to identifiable information such as contact information, date of birth, and social security number.
