About Us

The Seattle-Denver Center of Innovation (COIN) was funded in Spring 2013 by the VA's Health Services Research & Development (HSRD) office with the intention of bringing together VA researchers in Seattle and Denver under one mission:

  • conduct outstanding health services research that promotes Veteran-centered and value-driven care;
  • generate and disseminate knowledge that contributes to the well-being of Veterans;
  • partner with VA policy and operational leaders to implement research findings into clinical care;
  • and train the next generation of health services researchers and leaders.

COIN uses both VA and non-VA funding to maintain a collaborative and productive environment for investigators, fellows, and staff. In Fiscal Year 2023 our investigators lead 80 funded research projects and published 337 manuscripts.
