Presenters:
Benjamin Henry, MBA - Department of Veterans Affairs

The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) employs more than five thousand clinicians and investigators conducting research activities, the majority of which are dually appointed at an academic affiliate. We will discuss how to report inventions when an inventor holds an appointment with the VA and how this might differ from other federal agencies. The presentation will provide background of the VA Technology Transfer Program and short-term goals.
