• 00:05has been continuously funded
• 00:06since 1996 by NHL NBA grants.
• 00:09Facts is known as a leader in excellence
• 00:11in study design and analysis and data
• 00:14quality to answer important clinical
• 00:16questions in the diversity a population.
• 00:18Fax has grown my 25 year study
• 00:20on HIV to diverse studies in the
• 00:23national VA population,
• 00:24benefiting from our experience and rigorous
• 00:26work on data and phenotype validation.
• 00:29We continue to lead scientific
• 00:30research in the field of HIV with
• 00:32the largest HIV cohort in North
• 00:34America and are at the forefront of
• 00:36the next generation of large scale,
• 00:38rigorous and reproducible EHR research.
• 00:41Our International Research consortium
• 00:43brings together clinical experts,
• 00:45methodologists and trainees who
• 00:47utilize the rich and valuable
• 00:49data from the Veterans Health
• 00:51Administration to do impactful research.
• 00:54Fax is organized into 11 cores and two
• 00:56work groups who oversee and facilitate
• 00:58research projects and initiatives,
• 00:59all chaired by leaders in their fields.
• 01:02Each core is composed of community
• 01:04members who actively participate
• 01:05in the research strategy,
• 01:07execute research projects,
• 01:08and have the opportunity to
• 01:10participate in new proposals.
• 01:16For those interested in submitting
• 01:17a new research proposal,
• 01:18we invite you to submit a short summary of
• 01:21your research question and study design.
• 01:23From here, our executive committee,
• 01:25Max X, will review the proposal
• 01:27for initial feasibility and assign
• 01:29it to a VAX core work group.
• 01:31Core Members then review for scientific
• 01:33merit and provide feedback in order
• 01:35for the core chairs and backpacks
• 01:37to make final decisions on approval
• 01:39and priority scoring scores and work
• 01:41actively with the proposal principal
• 01:43investigators to execute the research
• 01:46project using validated definitions
• 01:48and rigorous and reproducible methods.
• 01:50Please submit your research proposals to
• 01:56m.yale.edu/vax Dash proposal.
• 01:57If you have any questions,
• 01:59please contact backs at yale.edu.
• 02:04In addition to our chores and work groups,
• 02:06investigators also have access
• 02:07to additional research resources.
• 02:09We'd like to highlight the Doug and Dag
• 02:12zoom meetings where you can connect with
• 02:14our data and research experts to ask
• 02:17questions about access data definitions,
• 02:19data design, and request consultations
• 02:21for your research projects.
• 02:23Here's an overview of the meetings,
• 02:25available to researchers to attend
• 02:26to share progress on their projects,
• 02:28or to ask for feedback and help.

• 02:33would like to attend any of these meetings.
• 02:38In addition to the various meetings
• 02:39available, we encourage you to join
• 02:41our back slack workspace to search for
• 02:43helpful information and post questions
• 02:45and receive answers in real time.
• 02:49Finally, a friendly reminder that
• 02:51all dissemination of research must
• 02:53be submitted for review and approval
• 02:55by the Facts Publications Committee.
• 02:56We ask for at least two weeks for review.
• 03:01Thank you and we look forward
