This legislation will be included as part of the Chairman\u2019s broader reauthorization strategy to soundly reauthorize specific programs at the Department of Veterans Affairs, many of which have not been comprehensively reauthorized in 30 years.\n\n\"The Department of Veterans Affairs conducts vital research in the federal government, but lacks centralized coordination, efficient review and oversight, and dependable timelines,\" said Congressman Greg Murphy, M.D. \"Our veterans deserve to receive swift attention to their healthcare needs; however, the bureaucratic process often forces veterans to wait unconscionable lengths of time to receive care. The VA Research Reform Act will effectively modernize how the VA-funded research is managed, streamlining every stage of the process to prioritize the well-being of veterans and remove barriers to timely care.\"\n\nBackground", 1, "2026-04-04T05:28:40Z", "2026-04-04T05:30:10Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://murphy.house.gov/media/press-releases/murphy-introduces-legislation-improve-va-research-care-delivery-0"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.4586651232093573, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
