Contract Title. Veteran Engagement Facilitation for GROVE Center 2. Background. With the release of Patient Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI) funding, which incentivized patient engagement in research planning and implementation, the Veteran s Administration increased its investment of time and resources into expanding its ability to engage its patients, Veterans, in research and decision-making activities. Many researchers began including patient/Veteran engagement in their work, and this drove an increased need to create systems and structures for the involvement of Veterans at research teams decision-making tables. While for decades Veterans had served in formal advisory and quasi-advisory roles with the VA, and some individual researchers engaged veterans as partners and not just patients in their research activities, efforts for wide-spread or systemic veteran engagement in research were limited. In 2014, the VISN19-based COIN and MIRECC research centers embarked on the process of developing the structure for the Denver-based Veteran Research Engagement Board (VREB). The conceptualization of this board was guided by community engaged research science, the emerging guidance from PCORI, and the researchers desire to authentically engage with Veterans as experts in the decision making about what research would matter to Veterans and be effective. The interest in Veteran Engagement Groups (VEGs) grew quickly and no less than a year later, other VEGs began in other VA research centers, using the Denver board as a framework and model. The GROVE center is a leader in Veteran Engagement (VE) in research that is housed in the COIN Research Center under Research Service in Rocky Mountain Regional Medical Center.

These rates may be adjusted only as a result of revisions to prevailing labor rates provided by the Secretary of Labor. The option provision may be exercised more than once, but the total extension of performance hereunder shall not exceed 6 months. The Contracting Officer may exercise the option by written notice to the Contractor within fifteen (15) days of the expiration date of the current contract period. For the purposes of the award of this Contract, the Government intends to evaluate the option to extend services under FAR 52.217-8 as follows: The evaluation will consider the possibility that the option can be exercised at any time,and can be exercised in increments of one to six months, but not for more than a total of six months during the life of the contract. The evaluation will assume that the prices for any option exercised under FAR 52.217-8 will be at the same rates as those in effect under the contract at the time the option is exercised. The evaluation will therefore assume that the addition of the price or prices of any possible extension or extensions under FAR 52.217-8 to the total price for the basic requirement and the total price for the priced options has the same effect on the total price of all proposals relative to each other, and will not affect the ranking of proposals based on price, unless, after reviewing the proposals, the Government determines that there is a basis for finding otherwise.

The preliminary notice does not commit the Government to an extension. (b) If the Government exercises this option, the extended contract shall be considered to include this option clause. (c)The total duration of this contract, including the exercise of any options under this clause, shall not exceed 5 Years 52.232-19 Availability of Funds for The Next Fiscal Year (APR 1984) Funds are not presently available for performance under this contract beyond SEPTEMBER 30TH OF ANY FISCAL YEAR.
