POLICY
WIVR is committed to fostering access to scientific information that allows VA and WIVR personnel to remain current in their fields and apprised of cutting-edge developments for the benefit of VA research and education. This involves subscribing to journals as well as facilitating VA investigators’ full participation in scientific and educational organizations and conferences.
If a membership is necessary to obtain the publication, or if it is cost-effective to pay for a membership to obtain the publication and/or to attend meetings at a significantly reduced rate, WIVR may pay the dues. However, the organization must have a research orientation as demonstrated by publication of research journal(s) and/or hold scientific meetings of benefit to VA research. Prior approval of the VA Education Committee is required for educational subscriptions and/or memberships that have no research relevance.
If an organization offers no justifiable publications but holds a meeting that has research relevance or educational value, and the cost of dues is justified by a reduction in the meeting registration fee, when practical, membership dues will be paid at the same time as the registration fee. (Purpose is to avoid paying for a membership justified by access to a lower registration fee, but subsequently the individual is unable to/does not attend the meeting.)
SCOPE
This policy applies to all WIVR Research Investigators.
PROCEDURE
Personnel may request payment for the cost of subscriptions for research related publications and approved educational materials that provide a clear benefit for VA research or education. Subscription requests must indicate a business, not residential, address for delivery. A Subscriptions and Dues Request for Payment (WF-047) should be completed and submitted to WIVR for approval and payment with WIVR credit card. It is WIVR policy to make all purchases on a WIVR card.
WIVR staff evaluates each subscription request and decides whether to pay for a subscription or dues on the basis of research relevance or in the case of educational subscriptions, whether there is a benefit to VA or WIVR employees, or to VA patients, and business prudence.
