Charting impact

Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.

We are aiming to bring better and more effective medical diagnoses, vaccines, and treatments to our military veterans.

1) Conduct excellent and wide-ranging research from which veterans benefit.
2) Maintain the highest standards of excellence, integrity, and professionalism.
3) Create awareness of our mission by building our communications and community relationships.
4) Building strategic partnerships with Big Pharma, Tech companies, and Federal agencies.

We have world-class researchers, the support of the Veterans Administration, and an engaged leadership group.

We are reaching more Veterans and are conducting more trials.
We participated in the Johnson & Johnson/JANSSEN COVID-19 vaccine trials and other COIVD19 clinical research trials.

  • We ask team members to identify racial disparities in their programs and / or portfolios.
  • We analyze disaggregated data and root causes of race disparities that impact the organization's programs, portfolios, and the populations served.
  • We disaggregate data to adjust programming goals to keep pace with changing needs of the communities we support.
  • We employ non-traditional ways of gathering feedback on programs and trainings, which may include interviews, roundtables, and external reviews with/by community stakeholders.
  • We disaggregate data by demographics, including race, in every policy and program measured.
  • We have long-term strategic plans and measurable goals for creating a culture such that one’s race identity has no influence on how they fare within the organization.

  • We seek individuals from various race backgrounds for board and executive director/CEO positions within our organization.
