OPERATIONAL MANAGEMENT
The NAVREF NPC Self Assessment Tool
linked below is a user-friendly means for VA affiliated nonprofit
research and education corporations (NPCs) established and managed under
38 USC 7361-7368 to assess four main areas of typical operations
including programs, governance, finances and selected management
topics.
Along with items required under the
NPC authorizing statute, VA policy reflected in VHA Handbook 1200.17 and
occasional VHA policy memos, or required by other oversight or
regulatory organizations, this tool offers additional standards that
reflect a higher, but not required, level of competence. NAVREF
encourages NPCs to use this tool to ensure compliance with minimum
requirements, but also to set goals and timelines to achieve standards
identified as “reach goals.”
At this time, Phase I of the
NAVREF NPC Self
Assessment Tool is available to NAVREF members. At this time,
Phase II is under development. This involves linking some of standards to applicable
statutes and regulations as well as guidance for meeting them.
