What We Do

At NAVREF, our mission goes beyond enhancing the quality of care for veterans—we are dedicated to fostering collaboration, innovation, and expanded access to veteran clinical trials within the VA research community. Through initiatives like the Access to Clinical Trials (ACT) for Veterans Initiative, we streamline clinical trial processes, improve efficiency, and ensure veteran patients have access to groundbreaking treatments.

As a vital conduit between VA-affiliated nonprofit organizations (NPCs) and key stakeholders, NAVREF builds partnerships that drive veteran-focused research and education. By advocating for NPCs and sharing best practices, we enable these organizations to maximize their impact, improving the health and well-being of our nation’s veterans.

Through advocacy, educational programs, and strategic partnerships, NAVREF leads efforts to advance medical research for veterans and expand opportunities for veteran healthcare innovation.
