NAVREF/VA Office of Research & Development Partnered Research Program
The Challenges
- Novel precision medicine therapies for Veterans and civilians are urgently needed to give doctors better tools to treat many disorders and address the variability seen in many conditions, including PTSD
- Clinical studies offer hope, but time to VA site trial launch averages 100 days more than non-VA sites, according to industry data
- Inherent delays slow progress in the fight against brain trauma disorders and increase costs for trial sponsors
Our Goals
- Improve Veterans’ access to new clinical trials and cutting-edge treatments by bolstering the VA clinical research enterprise
- Decreasing the average clinical site start-up time by 100 days by partnering with NAVREF/ORD to identify and implement solutions
CVB & Partners Approach
To streamline the initiation of innovative clinical trials, CVB is supporting NAVREF’s new VA Office of Research and Development-led Partnered Research Program (PRP) and its recently-launched Industry Consortium of which CVB is a founding member
PRP is facilitating critical research trial partnerships by enhancing VA infrastructure, ensuring inclusion of Veterans, and removing the barriers toward world-class health solutions
NAVREF Industry Consortium to foster collaboration and grow industry sponsorship, enabling more Veteran clinical research participation and new therapeutic interventions
