After several years of strategic planning, the Foundation piloted full implementation of its new community wealth-building approach. This approach will continue to guide the Foundation’s investments by focusing its discretionary funds on building the seven forms of community wealth that address specific root cause issues. Also in 2015, the Foundation put this new theory of change to work on Charleston’s West Side through its “Investing in Our Communities- West Side of Charleston” initiative. This place-based strategy utilizes all of the devices in TGKVF’s toolbox: grants and investments, leveraging assets, leadership and advocacy, convening stakeholders, and building community capacity. TGKVF’s community wealth-building strategy takes a systems approach to community change by understanding the existing forms of capital already present within a community, respecting and building on existing efforts, and engaging other partners to help grow local wealth. This work requires an investment in strong collaborative efforts and thus the Foundation no longer supports single organizations working alone, but instead advances the projects and programs that build connectivity amongst various stakeholders across multiple sectors. Through our root-cause analysis, TGKVF realized that the urgency of our region’s challenges required combined efforts, shared resources, and unified priorities. To achieve real and lasting impact, we must all work together to change complex and dynamic systems; no single organization can succeed in this work on its own. In addition to this emphasis on collaboration, TGKVF’s community wealth-building approach requires more strategic participation in the proposal development process. In 2015, the Foundation’s program officers coached 24 collaborative efforts and recommended 15 grants for funding. Those grants include: Appalachian Reading Center’s reading services coalition with Mission WV and Clay County Schools; CADCO Foundation’s Leadership Kanawha 1 Valley program; CAMC Health Education & Research Institute’s nutrition-based KEYS for Healthy Kids Coalition; Children’s Therapy Clinic’s behavioral therapy partnership with Bright Futures, Inc.; Coalfield Development Corporation’s Refresh Appalachia local foods collaboration with Unlimited Future, Inc. and Lincoln County Schools; College Summit’s post-secondary guidance Future Corps program; DuBois on Main Museum’s Youth Media and Leadership Academy; East End Family Resource Center’s work with Education Alliance and Kanawha County Schools in the AmeriCorps on the Frontline Dropout Prevention program; Lincoln County Schools’ Afterschool Program at Duvall PK-8 and West Hamlin Elementary; Human Resource Development Foundation’s healthy lifestyles collaboration with Bob Burdette Center, Girl Scouts of Black Diamond, and PRO-Kids, Inc.; Mission West Virginia’s academic and life skills support partnership with TEAM for WV Children; Southern Appalachian Labor School’s Accent Education program for at-risk youth in Fayette County; WV Health Right’s oral health collaboration with Women’s Health Center; WV Healthy Kids and Families Coalition’s civic engagement initiative; and WVU Foundation’s Extension Services’ six-county STEM Ambassador program. In addition to supporting a multitude of projects across our region, TGKVF dedicated particular focus to a nine-block area of Charleston’s West Side. To gain a better understanding of the assets and opportunities within the neighborhood, and to provide residents with a platform to directly express their vision, TGKVF commissioned the Kanawha Institute for Social Research & Action, Inc. (KISRA) to conduct a needs assessment study of the target area. The assessment was conducted between July and December 2015 and included a review of secondary data, a door-to-door survey of 241 residents, and multiple focus group discussions. As a part of the “Investing in Our Communities – West Side of Charleston” initiative, TGKVF supported two intersecting projects in 2015: 1) Project West Invest which incentivizes neighborhood home ownership/renovation for law enforcement 2) Second Avenue Community Center Restoration which targets renovation of a historic center in the heart of the neighborhood 2 “TGKVF realized that the urgency of our region’s challenges required combined efforts, shared resources, and unified priorities. To achieve real and lasting impact, we must all work together to change complex and dynamic systems; no single organization can succeed in this work on its own.” The support of these projects demonstrates the Foundation’s commitment to cross-sector collaboration as each utilized resources from a variety of partners including government entities, nonprofits, businesses, residents, and other funders. While we have come a long way, our work is far from complete. The Foundation will continue to refine our approach to suit the needs of the communities we serve. As we move forward, TGKVF will strategically measure the impact of our investments by working with grantees to ensure that their programs are effectively planned and implemented in ways that build community wealth as well as collect and evaluate the data necessary to achieve evidence-based results. We look forward to 2016 as we continue to invest in projects that are working to transform our region. Michelle Foster, Ph.D. Melvin Jones President and CEO Chairman 3 TGKVF Strategic PLAN TGKVF’s long-term Over the next few years, we believe the Foundation can help make education goal is the biggest strides toward this long-term goal by investing our for our community funds, leadership, and influence toward accomplishing the following to be a place where medium-term objectives.

  • A Note on Statistical Inference for Noisy Incomplete 1-Bit Matrix∗
    A Note on Statistical Inference for Noisy Incomplete 1-Bit Matrix∗ Yunxiao Chen1, Chengcheng Li2, and Gongjun Xu2 1Department of Statistics, London School of Economics and Political Science 2Department of Statistics, University of Michigan Abstract We consider the statistical inference for noisy incomplete 1-bit matrix. Instead of observing a subset of real-valued entries of a matrix M, we only have one binary (1-bit) measurement for each entry in this subset, where the binary measurement follows a Bernoulli distribution whose success probability is determined by the value of the entry. Despite the importance of uncertainty quantification to matrix completion, most of the categorical matrix completion literature focus on point estimation and prediction. This paper moves one step further towards the statistical inference for 1-bit matrix completion. Under a popular nonlinear factor analysis model, we obtain a point estimator and derive its asymptotic distribution for any linear form of M and latent factor scores. Moreover, our analysis adopts a flexible missing-entry design that does not require a random sampling scheme as required by most of the existing asymptotic results for matrix completion. The proposed estimator is statistically efficient and optimal, in the sense that the Cramer-Rao lower bound is achieved asymptotically for the model parameters. arXiv:2105.01769v1 [math.ST] 4 May 2021 Two applications are considered, including (1) linking two forms of an educational test and (2) linking the roll call voting records from multiple years in the United States senate. The first application enables the comparison between examinees who took different test forms, and the second application allows us to compare the liberal-conservativeness of senators who did not serve in the senate at the same time.

Burchett is a Member in the Health Care industry group, focusing primarily on health care litigation and medical malpractice. He practices out of the Firm’s office in Lexington, Kentucky.

In Stephen, Jackson Kelly can count one of these rarified attorneys among its ranks.

He is widely regarded as one of the leading trial attorneys in arena of medical malpractice defense, having tried more than 50 cases to verdict in notoriously plaintiff-friendly venues in Appalachia with remarkable success. Stephen and his excellent litigation support team defend clients throughout our region in cases involving high exposure, multiple litigants, and complex medicine. Stephen is further committed to representing the business interests of his medical clients and preserving their hard-earned reputations. In an effort to protect quality medical care inside and outside of the courtroom, he also works extensively with state licensing boards, credentialing bodies, and in defending criminal prosecutions.
