The Department of Veterans Affairs is extending the appointments of term-limited and Without Compensation researchers whose positions are set to expire within the next 90 days. This decision follows the layoffs of approximately 2,400 probationary employees since February, as part of a broader move to cut costs. VA Secretary Doug Collins indicated plans to reduce staff by up to 83,000, exempting mission-critical roles. This extension aims to maintain research continuity while evaluating ongoing initiatives' effectiveness on Veteran health care.
