a. The format will have audio paired with a visual component throughout the training.

6. What will the training schedule be? Or is this up to the discretion of the contractor?

a. Training schedule for individuals should take less than 2 months.

7. Will the contractor be responsible for purchasing and licensing the digital/online program, or are we utilizing a program that is already in place that we have to get credentialing or programming for?

a. The contractor is responsible for purchasing and or licensing, the VA does not have a training program in place.

8. If we are to develop the online program, will the time that it will take be taken into lead time consideration?

a. The GROVE Center has plans to launch the training to initial VA employees in Fall of 2023. Training must be complete and ready to use no later than November 1st, 2023. VA staff will not be available to co-develop the training.

9. In coordinating and running the training, do you require the contractor to have the same facilitator for all units/sessions, or can we designate different employees within our organization to facilitate different sessions as we see fit?

a. For the training it may be appropriate to change facilitators if the topic, content, and facilitators change enhance the trainees experience (i.e., diversifying facilitator trainers when appropriate for content). Keeping the same trainer is also appropriate especially if the trainer has experience and skills in training facilitators.

10. I'd like to know if the contractors are developing material based on our own knowledge and research, or will GROVE provide specific training material(s) and content that they want shared?

a. The contractor will be providing the training, but it should be relevant to the methods of Veteran Engagement in Research and in line with VA policies and/or regulations.
