Centers and Research Enhancement Award Programs (REAP)

CSR&D supports multidisciplinary groups of VA investigators studying medical issues of concern to veterans. Important goals of center-based research program are to train new investigators and to promote innovative research that integrates biomedical and clinical approaches. Sites will develop a core program of investigators, statisticians, economists, and other social scientists to support and facilitate the development of CSR&D research projects and the training and mentoring of new CSR&D investigators.

Currently there are no open solicitations; however see the most current Guidance.

Guidance for Center based Associate Investigators:

1. Applications need to be reviewed by us. Follow the CDA1 application format.
