Description
Formed in 1992, the National Association of Veterans' Research and Education Foundations (NAVREF) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit membership organization with the Department of Veterans Affairs medical centers.
In this webinar, learn how NAVREF works with industry partners to promote partnerships, disseminate information, and launch programs all aimed at ensuring that Veterans and their families have access to the highest quality care available.
NAVREF plays a crucial role in channeling groundbreaking clinical trials towards veterans who deserve state-of-the-art care for their service to our nation. As the only association fully integrated with the VA, NAVREF works to bridge the gap between industry partners and the VA. We collaborate with a diverse range of public and private partners that are dedicated to advancing the research and education missions of the VA.
