ORD Unified Career Development Program
The Office of Research and Development (ORD) is pleased to announce a new career development program that streamlines career development opportunities across services into one ORD-wide program. As always, this career development program is designed to attract, develop and retain talented VA researchers in areas of particular importance to VA by providing a well-constructed, mentored research development experience. The new program is intended to clarify, simplify, and enhance VA research career development opportunities for clinicians and non-clinicians. The program was developed by an ORD-wide work group and has been vetted by the Field Research Advisory Committee, the National Research Advisory Committee, and VA research center directors.
