Research Opportunities
VA San Diego Healthcare System & Veterans Medical Research Foundation (VMRF)
We would like to invite you to participate in some of our volunteer human subjects research programs conducted by VA San Diego Healthcare System researchers. All of these studies are approved by our local Institutional Review Board (a group of diverse members from the VA and the community). All studies must meet strict standards for research and ethics.
We encourage Veterans and non-veterans to check this site periodically for research opportunities. Your participation helps us answer important research questions and improves health care for Veterans and the general population. Depending on the study, you may benefit from advanced medical treatment, and some studies offer modest reimbursement. Sign up today and share this information with Veterans friends and family.
Please review the studies posted and then contact the person listed on the study sheet. We hope you will benefit from participating in these studies. Thank you again for helping your Veterans and your community.
