Mission Statement
To support research and education at the Durham VA Medical Center for the enhancement of the health and lives of the Veteran population, their families and the public at large.
About This Cause
IMR is a 501 c 3, NC state chartered non profit affiliated with the Durham Veteran Affairs Medical Center (DVAMC). We were created in 1989 by congressional mandate to facilitate and support research and education projects done at the DVAMC by administering grants from sources other than the Veteran Affairs (VA). In this capacity we provide the bridge between the VA and outside entities interested in research and education projects for the benefit of veterans and their families. We do this by hiring staff, purchasing equipment and supplies, negotiating the budgets and contract/grants and providing seed funding for new researchers. Our low overhead costs (25%) allow for more funding to go the projects and we reinvest the overhead in the VA in a number of ways such as providing support for the VA review committees and purchasing equipment which is then immediately donated to the VA. This helps to broaden VA's reach for the benefit of the Veterans and their families.
