ABOUT US

Founded in 1992, the National Association of Veterans’ Research and Education Foundations (NAVREF) is the nation’s preeminent membership association committed to expanding research and education partnerships across the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).  Our members – more than 75 nonprofit research and education foundations authorized by Congress – are committed to improving the quality of care for Veterans and their families by expanded access to clinical trials nationwide.

Since our founding, we have partnered with the VA on efforts to streamline clinical trials, provide veterans with innovative, groundbreaking care, and expand upon education opportunities for VA health care staff, veterans, and their families.
