Senate Provides Increase for VA Research Program
Last week, the Senate Military Construction/VA Appropriations Subcommittee passed its version of the FY19 Mil/Con/VA spending bill which provided $779 million (+$57 million) for the VA Medical and Prosthetics Research program.
The House Military Construction/VA Appropriations Subcommittee passed its version of the bill earlier this summer, providing $732 million (+$10 million) for the VA research program.
Both House and Senate bills await consideration by the full chambers, which is expected later this summer.
