Over a million U.S. veterans generously donated their DNA to advance health research. This massive effort, known as the Million Veteran Program, has already helped uncover critical insights into mental health, cancer, and toxic exposure. But now, due to lapsing agreements and funding cuts, scientists fear this groundbreaking project may fall apart — wasting years of progress and risking future medical breakthroughs.

00:00More than a million U.S. veterans did something extraordinary.
00:03They volunteered their DNA to help unlock medical breakthroughs that could save lives.
00:08This effort, called the Million Veteran Program,
00:11became one of the largest genetic databases in the world.
00:14And the data?
00:15It's helped uncover links to anxiety, cancer risks,
00:19even the impact of toxic exposures like burn pits.
00:22But now, scientists are sounding the alarm.
00:25Decades of progress could be lost. Why?
00:28Because crucial partnerships, like the one with the Energy Department's supercomputers,
00:32are set to expire.
00:34No computing power, no research.
00:36Grants are drying up.
00:38Trials are being canceled.
00:40And experts with years of experience are leaving.
00:43The Department of Veterans Affairs once led the world in medical innovation.
00:47They gave us the pacemaker and helped launch life-changing weight loss drugs.
00:51But today, due to budget cuts and bureaucracy,
00:54the very program that promised to transform veteran health is in limbo.
00:58And the data that could change millions of lives?
01:00At risk of collecting dust.
01:02Linkedinário now has been made up of 30 tons per square feet.
01:06In the state of the state of the space,
01:07the test might need to SARAH and AC dusty travel.
01:08Then, we are diagnosed with less concrete information.
01:10We are diagnosed with aökullscape.
01:12After the design process, we are almost 100% of our consciousness.
01:14The model is available in the state of the state of the state of the state.
01:16And now, it's a solid state of the state of the state.
01:17The plan of the state of the state of the state of the state of the state of the state.
