Virginia Wounded Warrior Program: Needs and Gap Assessment

VTIPG faculty and graduate students collaborated with the Virginia Tech Center for Survey Research and the Virginia Tech Center for Geospatial Information Technology to conduct a comprehensive study of veteran’s needs, experiences and service gaps in the Commonwealth of Virginia. The study was commissioned by the Virginia Wounded Warrior Program (VWWP), now Virginia Veteran and Family Support (VVFS), charged with coordinating and facilitating the services that are needed by Virginia’s veterans who have served in the United States military, particularly those who served in the Gulf War conflicts.

The research was utilized to inform policy and program development for the Virginia Department of Veteran Services. Mary Beth Dunkenberger was the Principle Investigator with the help of Nancy White.
