For VA Attorneys
Cooperative Research and Development Agreements (CRADAs) are agreements used by the federal government to establish the terms of research collaborations. CRADA regulations allow for a legal review of each agreement if requested. Therefore each VA Regional Counsel Office is prepared to provide such review and when needed assistance in negotiating terms consistent with the CRADA statute and VA policies.
Information and links to CRADA resources of particular interest to VA attorneys are provided on this page, but please browse other CRADA pages on this web site, particularly the page containing CRADA Resources.
