Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thanks to all three of you for being with us today. We appreciate your comments and the work that you do, and the work that our researches are doing, in providing services and coming up with ideas that we can use to improve the lives of our veterans and our soldiers.
I'm going to pick your research brain to start off, just because some people may not be aware of how research goes and the actual steps you have to go through in order to come up with a research project. When you come up with an idea, and someone comes with a null hypothesis, and you come up with an ideation on what you're going to do the research on, the researcher comes up with an idea, and they present that presentation to the university or to an ethics committee. Could you go into those steps that researcher has to follow for such a project—nothing specific, but just generally speaking?
