  • Interagency Edison Receives Recognition from U.S. Air Force Users The Air Force Research Laboratory's Office of Scientific Research (AFOSR) extolled the benefits of the Interagency Edison (iEdison) system in the August 2001 issue of Leading Edge, a publication of the Air Force Materiel Command. AFOSR representatives note that the ability for grantees to report inventions in the iEdison database has resulted in reduced paperwork, time, and cost savings for federal staff; increased data accuracy; and greater reporting compliance. iEdison also enables the NIH and other grant-making agencies to highlight the positive results of federally funded research and facilitates the transfer of technology from the research laboratory to the commercial and public sectors.  iEdison, a Web-based invention reporting and tracking system developed in 1995 by the NIH Office of Extramural Research (OER), enables federal grantees, contractors, and participating federal agencies to electronically manage extramural invention portfolios. At the time of the article, 16 federal agencies had adopted the iEdison system; today  it is 19.

  • 1997 Hammer Award given to Interagency Edison for innovation in electronic government. The Hammer Award was presented by Vice President Al Gore to teams of federal employees who had made significant contributions in support of reinventing government principles.
