CHERP invites VISN4 investigators to apply for up to $25,000-$40,000 for pilot project support. This program supports preliminary projects that will inform future, larger HSR applications, and other Veteran-centric research or quality improvement (QI) initiatives.

3. Impact Goal 3: Advance the science and real-world application of dissemination and implementation methods to improve the equity and quality of VHA healthcare.
4. Additional Contribution Areas: Long-Term Care & Aging; Primary Care Practice & Complex Chronic Disease

Proposed projects must be of a reasonable size and scope to be completed within FY2025 (October 1, 2024-September 30, 2025). Support for this program is provided by VISN 4.
