Mission and programs · 2025

• FUNDING FOR THE RESEARCH ACTIVITIES OF CVRE IS DERIVED FROM FEDERAL AND STATE GRANTS AND CONTRACTS, AND PRIVATELY FUNDED AWARDS AND CONTRACTS PROVIDED BY CORPORATIONS AND OTHER NOT-FOR-PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS. THESE SPONSORED AWARDS ARE ISSUED IN THE FORMS OF - BUT NOT LIMITED - CRADAS (COOPERATIVE RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT AWARDS), INDUSTRY CONTRACTS, CLINICAL TRIAL AGREEMENTS AND GRANT AWARDS. CRADAS ESTABLISH THE TERMS OF SPONSORED COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH, GENERALLY WITH NON-FEDERAL INDUSTRY PARTNERS, AND ARE SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED TO PROTECT THE PARTIES' PRIOR INVENTIONS WHILE ALLOWING RESEARCH PARTNERS TO NEGOTIATE MANAGEMENT OF ANY NEW DISCOVERY OR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY THAT MAY RESULT FROM THE COLLABORATION. CRADAS ARE GOVERNED BY THE TITLE 15 COMMERCE AND TRADE, CHAPTER 63, TECHNOLOGY INNOVATIONS, SECTION 3710A COOPERATIVE RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENTS. THEY ARE SUBJECT TO REVIEW AND APPROVAL OF THE VA OFFICE OF GENERAL COUNSEL (OGC). ALL RESEARCH PROJECTS MUST BE APPROVED BY THE MVAHCS RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT (R&D) COMMITTEE AND APPLICABLE SUBCOMMITTEES. THE R&D COMMITTEE HAS OVERALL RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE CONDUCT AND OVERSIGHT OF ALL RESEARCH ADMINISTERED THIS ORGANIZATION, AND THE RESEARCH IS GOVERNED BY FEDERAL RULES AND REGULATIONS. THESE TYPES OF RESEARCH STUDIES ARE DIFFERENTIATED BY FUNDING SOURCE, AND BY THEIR INTENT TO GENERATE NEW KNOWLEDGE.

Officers and directors · 2025

As listed in Part VII of the 2025 return, in the order the filer printed them. Each return names its own; this is not a roster the organization keeps with us.

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.
