BVARI
Education

Welcome to the Education Page of BVARI.org

The Boston VA Research Institute, Inc. (BVARI) is proud to support educational events and programs at the VA Boston Healthcare System that improve the lives of our nation’s veterans. We coordinate seminars, lectures, trainings, conferences, and on-going educational development programs for both the immediate benefit of veterans and for improving the care they receive through educating their direct care providers and the VA research staff developing new treatments on their behalf.

BVARI functions as the intermediary between the VA and non-VA education sponsors and administers the donated funds to ensure that all VA regulations, which may be unknown to the sponsors, are adhered to. BVARI will assist investigators in negotiating the contracts with sponsors and third party vendors (i.e. facility or equipment rentals, catering services, etc.).  BVARI provides support for contracting educational projects and events at VA Boston Healthcare System with non-VA sponsors and third party vendors.

If you would like to submit a proposal for a sponsored education event or project, please collect the appropriate forms for either an event (a one time educational event, such as a lecture) or a project (an ongoing program for educational development) from this page and return them to BVARI. All proposals must be approved by the VA’s Educational Committee.

If you have any questions regarding education events and projects through BVARI, please contact the BVARI office at (617) 738-1313
