Please Note:
- Proposal submission is NOT a funding opportunity.
- HAP does NOT award contracts, provide research grants, or offer other forms of financial support in response to proposal submission.
- Submitting a proposal to HAP is NOT a substitute when other avenues of engagement with VA are more appropriate, such as a vendor application to the Office of Acquisition and Logistics or joining the Community Care Network.
- HAP does not lead or establish scientific research studies, please contact your local VA Office of Research and Development to inquire about research opportunities.
All proposals will be fairly and objectively reviewed utilizing extensive evaluation criteria to determine efficacy, feasibility, and originality. Proposal submitters will receive notification that their proposal was received by HAP within 30 days of submission and periodic status updates thereafter.
