VA Research Importance with NAVREF
Description
The National Association of Veterans’ Research and Education Foundations (NAVREF) has been the nation’s preeminent association dedicated to advancing research and education partnerships between the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) and stakeholders interested in advancing health research and innovation.
Its network of over 75 congressionally authorized nonprofit foundations was created as a flexible VA research infrastructure, bridging the gap between the academic affiliate and the local VA healthcare system.
NAVREF has collaborated with VA to streamline clinical trial opportunities for veterans, deliver cutting-edge care, and enhance education for VA health care staff, veterans, and their families. NAVREF CEO Rashi Romanoff talks with host Jim Fausone.
