All employment-related decisions will be made without regard to race, religion, color, national origin, age, sex, disability, or any other categories protected by federal, state or local law. If interested in learning more about current job openings, please contact DRI at 720-457-0670.
All DRI administrative and research staff must obtain a Without Compensation (WOC) appointment through the RMR VA Medical Center that authorizes DRI employees to perform their work on the VA campus. This helps to ensure compliance with federal laws related to Internal Controls, Conflict of Interest, Privacy and Information Security Awareness and Rules of Behavior, Privacy and HIPAA, etc. It also allows DRI employees to be covered under the Federal Torts Claims Act (FTCA) and Federal Employees‘ Compensation Act (FECA) during periods when they are engaged in service to the RMR VA Medical Center even though they are not VA Medical Center employees.
To work within the VA research service as a WOC, contractor or IPA, you are required to fill out the WOC application packet. By filling out the application you are ensuring that the information presented is truthful and accurate. All forms must be typed (not hand written). If the WOC forms are not properly filled out the entire WOC packet will be denied as VA HR will not accept it. Once the packet has been filled out the packet must be brought physically to the ECHCS Denver VA Center. As part of the WOC process you will be required to undergo a VA initiated background investigation.
Filling out the WOC application does not guarantee that you will be hired and if you are hired it does not make you a Federal employee it makes you a contracted employee of the federal government.
