VA Ann Arbor Healthcare System Research Services
Welcome to the VA Ann Arbor Research Service!
America has had a long history of supporting its defenders and this commitment guides the VA today. Championing medical research is one way the VA fulfills its obligation to serve Veterans. The VA Ann Arbor Research Service supports the research activities of over 150 research investigators located in Ann Arbor, Saginaw, and Battle Creek. Our facilities include forty thousand square feet of laboratory space, a seven thousand square foot animal facility, and an updated office space with sample processing lab for clinical research staff. The VA Ann Arbor Healthcare System is affiliated with the world-class University of Michigan.
