Title: Virginia's Innovation & Entrepreneurship Measurement System - Initiatives | Center for Innovative Technology

URL: http://www.cit.org/initiatives/iems/measurement-system/

Description: Welcome to the Commonwealth Innovation and Entrepreneurship Measurement System (IEMS), a web-based portal that uses key metrics and outcomes to track the performance of Virginia’s innovation economy. Innovation is widely recognized as the premier path to economic expansion both domestically and globally – and it is clear that the drivers of innovation in our domestic economy are entrepreneurs of emerging, high-growth technology companies. According to the Kauffman Foundation, a leader in advancing innovation and entrepreneurship, among “new and young firms, high-tech companies play an outsized role in job creation” (Kauffman Report, Tech Starts: High-Technology Business Formation and Job Creation in the United States, August 2013). - See more at: http://www.cit.org/initiatives/iems/measurement-system/#sthash.7RFiseCK.dpuf The IEMS was established by the Virginia General Assembly to further the work of the Commonwealth Research and Technology Strategic Roadmap, which links funding for research commercialization projects to Virginia's strategic technology priorities. It creates a dashboard and strategic path to new opportunities in the innovation economy using key indicators that can assist lawmakers, industry leaders and other stakeholders with determining public-private investment priorities and policies. - See more at: http://www.cit.org/initiatives/iems/measurement-system/#sthash.7RFiseCK.dpuf

Title: Virginia Assistive Technology System Web Site, Virginia Assistive Technology System

URL: https://www.vats.org/

Description: The Virginia Assistive Technology System (VATS) is a statewide program authorized and funded by the Assistive Technology Act of 2004, as amended and administered by the Virginia Department for Aging and Rehabilitative Services. VATS was established in 1990 with commitment to increasing awareness, accessibility and acquisition of assistive technology. The program is guided by an Advisory Council composed of individuals with disabilities, family members and representatives from Virginia's disability service agencies. One of VATS priorities’ is to establish assistive technology recycling programs across the State. VATS will work with local groups to plan and implement AT recycling specific to each community. In 2009, VATS applied for and received a grant from the Commonwealth Neurotrauma Initiative (CNI) Trust Fund Board. The three-year grant which is administered by VATS, created the Virginia Reuse Network (VRN). The mission of the VRN is to build the statewide reuse program’s capacity to better serve Virginians with spinal cord injuries (SCI) and traumatic brain injuries (TBI), including Veterans, and to implement a state-of-the-art sanitization and processing program for DME through the purchase of innovative DME cleaning systems. VRN partner programs will work collaboratively with network affiliates and VATS to address the durable medical equipment (DME) needs of persons with disabilities, primarily those who do not have the resources necessary to purchase needed equipment. Although the VRN will continue to serve qualifying individuals with disabilities, the VRN is interested in improving service delivery and tracking reuse services provided to individuals with SCI and TBI. VATS has three Assistive Technology Regional Sites that provide community contact points throughout Virginia for assistive technology information and resources across designated regions. These Regional Sites provide training, public awareness, and general technical assistance for consumers who can benefit from the use of assistive technology.
