Did you know more than 2 million women veterans live in the U.S. today? Women are the fastest growing group in the veteran population, projecting to make up 18% of veterans by 2040. This month we celebrate women’s history, and particularly the contributions and sacrifices of women veterans. For more information about women veteran’s healthcare click HERE.

The primary goal of the TVAREF Seed Grant Program is to provide support to junior investigators whose career will benefit from funds to develop preliminary data to support future VA Merit or DOD funding. Complete applications are due by April 15, 2025. For grant related questions, please contact Mary Reeder at mreeder@TVAREF.org or 813-780-2623 x102.

We recently created PI Profiles where you can learn more about the incredible research being done by TVAREF and JAHVH Researchers. The principal investigators who work with the VA bring a wealth of experience to their research. The breadth and depth of research detailed in the PI Profiles reflects our researchers’ commitment to caring for and improving the lives of veterans.
