...Businesses 1. Executive Summary. Every year, the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) researchers develop dozens of new health care-related technologies and other inventions that benefit VA’s patients, other Veterans, and all Americans. VA’s Technology Transfer Program (TTP) translates the results of VA employees’ discoveries into practice. The program educates VA inventors on their rights and obligations; evaluates inventions; obtains patents; and helps commercialize new products. VA’s program is different from other Federal technology transfer programs, because it is highly decentralized. More than 100 VA medical centers (VAMC) conduct research, and all are Federal Laboratories. In addition, 124 VAMCs have formal affiliations with academic institutions and hospitals, and many full- and part-time VA employees also have academic appointments or are employed at an affiliated academic institution or hospital. Because of these arrangements, most VA inventions are jointly owned by VA and its academic affiliates, making technology transfer a collaborative effort. In order to fulfill the goals of the President’s Memorandum dated October 28, 2011, requiring all Federal departments and agencies to accelerate technology transfer and support private sector commercialization, VA has developed a series of new initiatives. Among these initiatives are: increasing the number and quality of Invention Disclosures (ID) VA receives; streamlining the process of determining whether the Federal Government...

...order to produce specific goods or provide specific services to customers. It also includes the payroll taxes associated with those wages, plus the cost of company paid medical insurance, life insurance, workers' compensation insurance, any company matched pension contributions, and other company benefits (Adams, 2014). Indirect labor is the cost of any labor that supports the production process, but which is not directly involved in the active conversion of materials into finished products. Indirect labor cost would include production supervisor, purchasing staff, materials handling staff and materials management staff. The cost of both types of indirect labor can be fully loaded with the costs of benefits and payroll taxes for financial analysis or cost accounting purposes, since these additional costs are closely associated with the indirect labor positions (Adams, 2014). Direct material cost is the cost of important materials that are used in the manufacture of a product or used in providing a service. Direct material costs are definitely identifiable to the contract. The concept of estimating direct materials costs is very straightforward.

The VA takes care to approximately 5.8 million patients annually in more than 900 sites, including 152 medical centers and more than 700 community-based outpatient clinics. Annually, it provides primary care to more than 5 million patients, “Its hospitals, health care centers, ambulatory care centers and community based outpatient clinics are organized into 21 regional networks, known as VA integrated services networks, or VISNs, which control the management and funding of local hospitals and clinics. Many of the VA’s tertiary care centers are affiliated with academic medical centers, which, according to VA estimates, enable the health system to train at least 75 percent of the nation’s physicians—either as medical students or residents (The Commonwealth Fund , September 2011).” The VA healthcare system was created around the Civil War and is considered the oldest healthcare system in the United States. It was created to provide care...
