Gen. Eric K. Shinseki, Secretary, Department of Veterans Affairs

Message from the Secretary

"VA's Research and Development program is an essential part of our mission to provide cutting-edge health care to our Nation's Veterans. As we seek to transform VA, three fundamental attributes mark the starting point for framing a 21st Century organization: people-centric, results-driven, and forward-looking; these attributes require continued and increased emphasis on discovery, innovation, and best-practices."
