HHS Ignite Accelerator: The Finalists for the Summer 2015 Class
Even as the current round of Ignite is wrapping up, we're in search for the next round of teams to support, of problems to pursue. During the month of March, we solicited proposals from you, the HHS workforce, asking you to share your ideas on how to improve the way your office and agency works to meet the mission as so called for by Congress and the American people. We are excited here to announce the finalists for the Summer 2015 class of the HHS Ignite Accelerator. Please join me in congratulating these 25 finalist teams!
