The Baltimore Research and Education Foundation, Inc. is a private, non-profit organization established in July of 1990 to support research and research-related educational activities of the VA Maryland Health Care System. They used to pay participants with checks and petty cash. The cash was insecure, and the check mailing was fraught with problems since many veterans were transient and lacked stable housing.
