The annual Congressional budget process is underway for FY 2023. The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Medical and Prosthetic Research Program, VA research facilities, and the Office of Information Technology (OIT) within the VA receives its budget from Congress as part of this process.

The VA Medical and Prosthetic Research Program aims to improve the health of our veterans and lay the groundwork for improved patient care within the VA – the largest managed healthcare system in the nation. Aging research facilities need state-of-the-art facilities, technology, and equipment for state-of-the-art research. Sustained and enhanced federal investment in VA research is essential to delivering high-quality, coordinated, and efficient care to our nation’s growing population of aging Veterans.

Please write to your Senators and Representative to support VA research. After you enter your contact information, our suggested message will come up as the next page that you see.
