I joined the Million Veteran Program (MVP) about a year ago. It's a national research program to learn how genes, lifestyle, and #military exposures affect health and illness.
Since launching in 2011, over 850,000 #veterans have joined MVP, making it one of the world’s largest programs on genetics and health.
Obviously, the goal is to reach 1 million Veteran participants. Consider joining me.

Been onboard for 2 yrs. Am very familiar with the program. What is interesting is that with nearly 9 M vets in the VA system, why has it been so hard to reach 1M vets to be part of this effort? Would seem simple.

CPO Nate S., I think it's difficult to reach 1 million Vets because there are only a few locations where you can complete registration, since you have to provide a blood sample. Just my thoughts.

LTC Jason Strickland - Frankly, the questionnaire could be completed online. Wanna to give some retired military medics and corpsman a PT job, just ask them to be part of something new I call MVP Mobile and train them. Those that are tech savvy, more than you think, could get 2.5 M vets in a micro-second with the proper operational community-based plan. As an ole Navy Operational Chief Hospital Corpsman if marketed right the VA could have and sustain the MVP for both long- and short-range genetic studies for impact.
