Are You a Clinical Trial Sponsor seeking VA Study Sites?

As a service to our industry colleagues, NAVREF will distribute information about clinical trial opportunities to our nationwide network of VA Nonprofit Corporations (NPCs).  The NPCs will share the information with potential principal investigators at their affiliated VA medical center(s) and will contact you directly if they're interested in pursuing the study.  We will also post the study opportunity on the private members-only section of the NAVREF website.  There is no fee for this service, and the turnaround time is typically within 2-3 business days.  If you'd like NAVREF to distribute information about your clinical trial opportunity, simply send the following information to pwest@navref.org:

• A high-level study summary containing information that does not require a confidentiality disclosure agreement.  If you can provide a link to a ClinicalTrials.gov listing, that will suffice as a study summary.

• The name and contact information for the person the site should contact if they're interested in participating in the study.
