“Based in the DOE’s National Laboratory system, the centerpiece of the VA-DOE partnership is the Million Veteran Program—a national research program funded by the VA’s Office of Research and Development. To enable high quality research and large-scale computing using the MVP and VA data, the VA-DOE partnership established the MVP Computational Health Analytics for Medical Precision to Improve Outcomes (MVP-CHAMPION) initiative.”
“The initial focus of the partnership centers on three early demonstration projects soon to be launched. One aims to build algorithms…”
