Thanks to strong collaborative ties FAVER is privileged to work with a large community of uniquely talented medical researchers across a broad spectrum of research areas as we fulfill our purpose of advancing VA research and education.
The range of research projects is broad and includes special emphasis on major diseases categories, all of which are prevalent in the VA’s patient population. These include, but are not limited to:
- Cardiovascular medicine
- Diabetes treatment and prevention
- Low vision devices and aids
