Research and Development (R&D) Service

The VA Portland Health Care System (VAPORHCS) currently has over 150 investigators and more than 600 active protocols. In fiscal year 2021, VAPORHCS scientists were successful in competing for over $42 million in research grants from the VA, NIH, DOD and other sources. The VAPORHCS ranks in the top 6 among all VAs nationwide in total research funding. Research is conducted in a total of 98,000 square feet of wet and dry lab space that supports programs in basic science, clinical research, rehabilitation, health services, cooperative studies, epidemiology and outcomes research. Investigator initiated independent research programs represent the majority of research activities at the Portland VA. The established research programs reflect the special needs and interests of Veterans treated at this medical center. The VAPORHCS has been fortunate to receive several large grants that reflect the critical mass of scientists who have assembled here to investigate important diseases.
