This address is a suite or unit (STE 900). Organizations that share one are often clients of the same office-services firm, accountant or registered agent rather than related to each other.

We match the street line and ZIP code as the IRS gives them, ignoring case and outer spaces and nothing else, so "AVE" and "AVENUE" count as different streets and this list can miss some. A shared address can mean related organizations or a shared office, but it can also be a registered agent, a mail drop or a service provider holding mail for unrelated clients. It is not, by itself, evidence that two organizations are connected.

Mission and programs · 2024

  • PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT: THROUGH A MULTIYEAR PARTNERSHIP WITH THE VA OFFICE OF RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT, OUR COMBINED PROGRAM PROVIDES VETERANS WITH GREATER ACCESS TO INDUSTRY SPONSORED CLINICAL TRIALS AND MAKE VA A PARTNER OF CHOICE FOR INDUSTRY SPONSORED TRIALS. ONE CRITICAL OUTCOME OF THIS PROGRAM WAS THE LAUNCH OF NAVREF'S INDUSTRY PARTNER CONSORTIUM IN 2021. THE INDUSTRY PARTNER CONSORTIUM SERVES AS A PLATFORM FOR INDUSTRY SPONSORS, NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS, AND OTHER EXTERNAL PARTNERS TO IDENTIFY, COLLABORATE, AND OVERCOME CHALLENGES WITHIN VA RESEARCH THAT HINDER OUR NATION'S VETERANS FROM ACCESSING CUTTING-EDGE CLINICAL TRIAL OPPORTUNITIES. THE CONSORTIUM CONVENES REGULARLY AND REPRESENTS STAKEHOLDERS FROM A VARIETY OF HEALTH CARE INDUSTRIES. ONE OF THE MOST SIGNIFICANT PRODUCTS OF THE INDUSTRY PARTNER CONSORTIUM HAS BEEN THE JOINT ESTABLISHMENT WITH VA OF THE PARTNERED RESEARCH PROGRAM (PRP), A DEDICATED RESOURCE FOR INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL STAKEHOLDERS INTERESTED IN CONDUCTING MULTISITE TRIALS WITHIN VA. NAVREF ALSO OFFERS NO-COST CLINICAL TRIALS CONSULTATIONS TO ALL RESEARCH PARTNERS THAT MAY BE INTERESTED IN BRINGING MORE CLINICAL RESEARCH OPPORTUNITIES TO VETERANS. THROUGH REGUALR OUTREACH, NAVREF IS HEIGHTENING AWARENESS OF VA RESEARCH AND THE NONPROFITS AND EXPLORING OPPORTUNITIES TO PARTNER AND COLLABORATE TO BENEFIT VETERANS' HEALTH.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all. Showing the 10 most recent; the API carries the rest.

Grants made

No itemized grants to organizations. Schedule I is filed only by organizations that granted more than $5,000 to a recipient, so most filers have none.

Auto-Revocation List

Not listed. The IRS publishes this list for organizations whose exemption was automatically revoked for failing to file for three consecutive years.

Publication 78

Listed as of 13 October 2026, under deductibility PC.

These are two separate IRS files on two separate schedules, shown as published and not reconciled with each other. Neither is a statement about whether a contribution is deductible today: 19,245 organizations appear in Publication 78 while the IRS's own revocation file lists them as currently revoked, more than half of those revoked before 2019. Absence from Publication 78 is evidence of nothing, and presence is not evidence either. Verify current status with the IRS before relying on it.
