Follow up on Changes to the VA Intramural Research Award Program

September 20, 2024, 12:00-1:00pm ET

Presenter: Christopher Bever, MD, MBA

The VHA Office of Research and Development (ORD) is undergoing a research enterprise transformation. In follow up to our August presentation, this session will continue the discussion of changes to the VA Intramural Award Program. Within ORD, the Investigators, Scientific Review, and Management (ISRM) Initiative will be implementing three key changes on October 1, 2024: (1) transitioning from a service based research organization to a portfolio based research organization, (2) centralizing key operations functions to support portfolios, and (3) standardizing key aspects of the RFA process. This training will highlight those changes as teams shift to the new structure.
