MVP For common, i.e., shared equipment which is part of the research infrastructure at VAPAHCS, PAVIR Administration absorbs most of the costs for a Maintenance Value Plan (MVP), which is akin to an insurance plan where equipment failure risk is pooled across a number of equipment items to reduce total institutional cost for equipment service agreements. This plan is intended to cover equipment service agreements for infrastructure support equipment which benefit the overall VAPAHCS research community. PAVIR initiated MVP in FY 2012.
