Researcher Hub: Data Available for Researchers
MVP Data Available for Research
Through centralized data collection, cleaning, and curation, MVP has a wealth of health records, self-reported surveys, and genetic data available for research, with the generation of other omics data underway. MVP researchers contribute to the curation of phenotypes, and all MVP phenotype definitions are stored in the Centralized Interactive Phenomics Resource (CIPHER), a publicly accessible phenotype knowledgebase. Note: CIPHER does not contain patient-level data. CIPHER stores algorithms (which are instructions or “recipes”) for using MVP data to define health conditions.
Applying for Access to MVP Data
- MVP genomic and phenotypic data is available to VA researchers through VA-funded research projects and select non-VA federal funding.
- While opportunities for accessing MVP data are evolving, access is currently limited to VA-affiliated researchers.
- VA-affiliated researchers can submit proposals in response to RFAs from our ORD services: RFAs and Program Announcements (va.gov). VA researchers can also apply for select types of non-VA federal funding.
MVP Analytics Environments and Tools
MVP provides the following centralized analytics environments and tools to support researchers in their studies. Researchers can also bring approved tools into the MVP analytics environment. The most commonly used analysis software and programming languages are available in the computational environments and updated regularly. New tools and software can be added upon request and approval.
