The Seattle Institute for Biomedical and Clinical Research (SIBCR) serves the research and education endeavors of the investigators and staff at both divisions of the VA Puget Sound Health Care System, for the benefit of the nation's veterans and the general public. SIBCR has been incorporated in the State of Washington as a nonprofit charitable corporation since 1989 and qualified as a 501(c)(3) under the IRS as a federally tax exempt nonprofit in 1990.
SIBCR is a membership organization whose members are staff at the Seattle and American Lake divisions leading scientific projects or educational programs. In order to perform its mission of support to VA research and education, SIBCR receives funds from gifts or grants from voluntary health organizations and other non profits. We also receive grants from federal agencies, professional societies, for-profit companies and individuals. All funds expended by the Institute directly or indirectly support our research and education mission. All results from VA-approved research are in the public domain.
The Institute is governed by a fourteen member Board of Directors, none of whom receive compensation for their service.
SIBCR undergoes an annual financial audit by an independent auditing firm. The auditors annually report the results of the audit and their review of the financial operations to the Board of Directors.
