Promoting Partnerships To Improve Veterans’ Health

The STAR Team recently underwent an organizational change. STAR, or the Specialty Team Advising Research, will be splitting into two sections. Part of the team will continue performing the typical work that the local Research Offices and NPCs are familiar with, such as reviewing Confidential Disclosure Agreements and Cooperative Research and Development Agreements (CRADAs). The other STAR attorneys will focus on intellectual property issues, including patent law, and advising VA’s Technology Transfer Program.
