Boston University CTSI, in collaboration with VA Boston, is launching a Request for Information (RFI) to identify innovative uses of the Million Veterans Program (MVP) dataset—a powerful, richly linked research resource with data from over 1 million veterans. This includes:

  • Full gene sequencing on over 450,000 individuals

  • Linked data: EHRs, radiology, blood proteomics, and more

  • Data curated and managed by VABHS (VA Boston Healthcare System)

While access to this resource is typically limited to VA-affiliated faculty, Dr. Saiju Pyarajan has partnered with a select number of BU/BMC collaborators to support new research ideas, tool development, and data analysis projects.

Late April – RFI Released
May (3rd or 4th week) – Informational Webinar with Dr. Saiju Pyarajan
Early June – Application deadline
End of June – Selection of 1–2 projects
Full funding provided by the VA (no CTSI funds required)
