Innovative Therapies Centers of Excellence Act

This bill requires the Department of Veterans Affairs to establish at least five centers of excellence focused on innovative therapies for treating veterans with specific conditions like PTSD, depression, and chronic pain. The VA Secretary must select facilities based on competitive peer reviews that evaluate scientific merit, research capabilities, and partnerships with medical schools for training. Each center must include an advisory committee with veteran representatives and develop a national data repository to track treatment outcomes. The legislation authorizes $30 million annually for research and education activities at these centers while ensuring geographic distribution across the country.
