The Partnered Research Program (PRP), established in March 2020, is a division of the VA Office of Research and Development (ORD.) PRP is dedicated to developing long-term relationships with external organizations committed to Veterans’ health and VA’s clinical research mission to enhance Veterans’ access to high-quality multisite clinical trials. The overall goal of the PRP is to drive VA’s transformation toward streamlined and standardized start up activities within the clinical trial landscape.
Key PRP responsibilities include:
The PRP is currently identified as one of ORD’s key enterprise initiatives. As such, efforts are underway to enhance the capabilities of the PRP to better meet the needs of not only our partners, but our Veterans by ensuring that they have more opportunities to participate in clinical trials as part of their healthcare options. As the program grows, additional services will become available.
Organizations interested in conducting multisite trials within VA are encourage to review the Decision Tool (available on the Resources page) to determine if engaging the PRP is appropriate. General questions can be directed to [email protected]
