The National Institutes of Health and Veterans Affairs (VA) collaborated to create&nbsp;the&nbsp;NAVIGATE&nbsp;program, which is launching at 12 VA&nbsp;facilities&nbsp;to&nbsp;enhance&nbsp;veteran participation&nbsp;in&nbsp;the National Cancer Institute&rsquo;s (NCI) clinical&nbsp;trials. NCI will provide infrastructure funding support&nbsp;to allow&nbsp;veterans with cancer to&nbsp;more locally receive novel&nbsp;treatments, and the&nbsp;VA will manage organizational and operational activities within its national healthcare system.&nbsp;<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
