From its inception, the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs has deemed research an essential component to meet its mission: to provide the highest quality of health care possible to those who have served our country. Since 1946, clinical trials have been conducted at the VA that focus on alleviating the conditions prevalent among veterans. The goal of these trials has been to offer new drugs, devices and techniques to veterans to improve their health.
The principal investigators (PI) affiliated with the CRF are VA physicians who are committed to providing excellent care to their patients. Excellent care starts with an informed patient. Though you may receive many benefits from participating in clinical research as a subject–from gaining access to the latest pharmaceutical developments to the empowering feeling of giving back–there can be some risks, so if you are considering the possibility of participating please take time to evaluate for yourself and with your doctor if doing so is an appropriate option.
