Explanation
(This amendment provides funds in the second year to support Old Dominion University's leadership in a public-private partnership to apply and commercialize the scientific and engineering developments being generated by the Joint Training, Analysis and Simulation Center (JTASC) recently opened in Suffolk by the U.S. Department of Defense. Others involved in the project represent the University of Virginia, Virginia Tech, Christopher Newport University, Norfolk State University, the College of William and Mary, George Mason University, James Madison University, Virginia Commonwealth University, the City of Suffolk, and private firms involving the application and commercialization of DOD's computer simulation technologies and innovations. ODU would provide the leadership and logistical support to establish the Virginia Modeling and Simulation Center that would be located near the DOD facility.)
