Center for Veteran's Research & Education

Our program is partnered by the Center for Veteran's Research & Education (CVRE). CVRE is one of 80+ nonprofit corporations (NPCs) throughout the VA system. These NPCs were authorized by Congress in the 1980's to provide a mechanism by which VA investigators can accept research awards from non-VA sources including DoD, NIH, and industry. CVRE is a member of the National Association of Veterans' Research and Education Foundations (NAVREF).

CVRE is registered as a 501c3 in Minnesota and is located in a suite adjacent to the Research Office at the Minneapolis VAHCS. Minneapolis VAHCS' Chief of Staff and Associate Chief of Staff for Research, serve as CVRE's Board president and vice-president, respectively.
