The Virginia Tech Office of Economic Development was commissioned to conduct a study of current impacts of VAES and Extension on the economy and to gather recommendations from industry on how funding could be leveraged to drive more innovation and advancement. The office spoke with more than 200 stakeholders from private industry, local and state government; VCE agents, specialists, volunteers, and clients; VAES researchers; and many of the agricultural councils and commodity groups that fund and benefit from Agency 229 research and Extension. The report represents a snapshot of findings with a focus on five key agriculture and forestry industries and four communities. The five industries chosen include: beef cattle; poultry and hogs in vertically integrated production systems; food and beverage manufacturing; forestry/wood products/timber; and row crops. These industries each represent a large share of the Virginia agricultural economy and are supported by Agency 229 in different ways. from VTNews: https://vtnews.vt.edu/articles/2017/11/cals-229impact.html ; To learn more inside these pages and to read stories of our impact on every Virginia county, so to http://www.Agency229.cals.vt.edu.

The Commonwealth of Virginia is home to an estimated 748,3451 military veterans, ranging in age from centenarian, preWorld War II veterans, to teenage veterans recently returning from Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom (Afghanistan). These veterans are faced with wideranging and complex health needs, which are further complicated if they live in rural regions of the Commonwealth. Research and study undertaken by the Virginia Rural Health Association (VRHA) and the Virginia Wounded Warrior Program (VWWP) identify major veteran health care issues such as the inclusiveness and accessibility of health care, coordination of health care services, the availability of health care services in a veterans community, and the cultural competency of health care providers serving veterans. A primary challenge facing Virginias program and policy leaders is how to leverage state, federal, and local resources to meet the health care needs of all Virginia veterans.

Recent reports and recommendations from AAU/APLU and National Academies of Science charge public universities, especially those with a land grant mission, to provide needed infrastructure and guidance that will enable researchers to more easily share the data supporting their research. In brief, the AAU/APLU Public Access Working Group states: In light of governmental mandates and the scientific benefits of making data accessible to the public, universities will need to adopt new institutional policies, procedures, and approaches that actively support and promote research data sharing, while at the same time ensuring rigor in the research process and the veracity of its intellectual outputs. Virginia Tech has resources to support public access to research data in the Office of Vice President of Research and Innovation, University Libraries, and Division of Information Technology; however, there are gaps in communication, policy, training, and implementation that make data sharing difficult and confusing for busy researchers. In response to a few of these identified gaps, the Public Access to Data Committee makes the following recommendations: Policy 130015 should be revised to provide more pertinent information to researchers on how and where to obtain support for both restricting access to data and/or publicly sharing data, The University Libraries should work with the Office of Sponsored Programs to create guidance for PIs who are working on grant applications and processes for ensuring that Data Management Plans are updated and followed over the lifetime of the grant, The University Libraries, Division of IT, and Research Compliance Office should work together to create guidance helping researchers know when they can and should publicly share their data, and when they can and should keep the data secure. Ultimately, we recommend the creation of a standing Data Security and Sharing Committee reporting to the Commission on Research to consider, create, and maintain this guidance to better support researchers at Virginia Tech.

The article is devoted to understanding the origins of the Russian political elite. Relying on the empirical material of 2021, the authors study whether social ties in the Soviet managing class called "nomenklatura" is an important factor determining the position within the top echelon of the Russian political elite. In order to explore the genesis of the Russian political elite, we used a cross-methodological approach as well as the research method based on tracking their social origin. Our empirical basis is an original database for identifying elites including two elite lists, positional and reputational ones. The positional list for our analysis includes 112 personalities who hold positions in power structures provided with significant influence at the beginning of August 2021. The reputation list for analysis includes 100 personalities, based on the widely cited expert model "Politburo 2.0". To set up the connection between the current Russian political elite and the social group known to us as the Soviet "nomenklatura", we use the combined method. The "nomenklatura" heritage rating given for career, family and educational environment we assigned and summarized. Based on the results of the study, the following results were reached: as for the positional list, 59 out of 112 personalities (52.6%) are related to the Soviet nomenclature (total ratings of 2 and above), as for the reputation list - 50 out of 100 (50%). Based on a descriptive comparative analysis of two independent lists, we conclude that at least a half of contemporary elite actors have this kind of background among the modern Russian top-tier elite, and another 13-15% can relate to it with a significant degree of probability. It is noticeable that the proportion we found approved regardless of the approach the list of elite personalities is based on.
