About NAVREF and How We Work With Industry

As the only association working directly with VA research, we connect industry sponsors — pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, medical device manufacturers, contract research organizations, and nonprofit foundations — with the VA-affiliated nonprofit research corporations that make veteran research, education, and innovation projects possible.  We help facilitate a wide range of research projects, including clinical trials, epidemiologic, real world evidence, and quality improvement studies.

Looking for VA Study Sites?

NAVREF collaborates with public and private sector partners interested in research initiatives at the VA.

We distribute clinical trial and collaboration opportunities to VA-affiliated nonprofit research corporations nationwide. Interested sites connect directly with sponsors, enabling efficient site identification and engagement.

  • Nationwide network reach
  • Direct investigator engagement
  • 2-3 business day distribution
  • No cost to sponsors 

What Happens After You Contact NAVREF

1. No cost consultation: A 30-minute conversation to understand your organization, your potential opportunities, and your areas of interest.

3. We facilitate potential site interest: Interested sites connect with you directly to move forward.
