University of Michigan Health System in Ann Arbor and the Department of Veterans Affairs have announced a partnership that will bring 150 VA researchers to the University of Michigan campus.
The move is intended to allow researchers from the Ann Arbor VA Center for Clinical Management Research and U-M researchers to collaborate on health issues that affect veterans and non-veterans, such as heart disease, diabetes, mental illness, post-traumatic stress disorder and more.
The VA researchers, most of whom already have joint appointments at the U-M Medical School, School of Public Health or School of Nursing, will relocate to U-M's North Campus Research Complex.
"We've always worked closely with U-M, but this move will accelerate the pace of research, for the benefit of veterans and patients everywhere," said Eve Kerr, MD, MPH, director of the VA CCMR and a professor of internal medicine at U-M. "From improving treatment of chronic conditions to preventing suicides and enhancing hospital care, all of us are eager to make an impact on care through research."
