  • United States Olympic Committee and U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs
    SELECTION STANDARDS United States Olympic Committee and U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs Veteran Monthly Assistance Allowance Program The U.S. Olympic Committee supports Paralympic-eligible military veterans in their efforts to represent the USA at the Paralympic Games and other international sport competitions. Veterans who demonstrate exceptional sport skills and the commitment necessary to pursue elite-level competition are given guidance on securing the training, support, and coaching needed to qualify for Team USA and achieve their Paralympic dreams. Through a partnership between the United States Department of Veterans Affairs and the USOC, the VA National Veterans Sports Programs & Special Events Office provides a monthly assistance allowance for disabled Veterans of the Armed Forces training in a Paralympic sport, as authorized by 38 U.S.C. § 322(d) and section 703 of the Veterans’ Benefits Improvement Act of 2008. Through the program the VA will pay a monthly allowance to a Veteran with a service-connected or non-service-connected disability if the Veteran meets the minimum VA Monthly Assistance Allowance (VMAA) Standard in his/her respective sport and sport class at a recognized competition. Athletes must have established training and competition plans and are responsible for turning in monthly and/or quarterly forms and reports in order to continue receiving the monthly assistance allowance. Additionally, an athlete must be U.S. citizen OR permanent resident to be eligible. Lastly, in order to be eligible for the VMAA athletes must undergo either national or international classification evaluation (and be found Paralympic sport eligible) within six months of being placed on the allowance pay list.

  • Para Cycling Information Sheet About the Sport Classification Explained
    Para cycling information sheet About the sport Para cycling is cycling for people with impairments resulting from a health condition (disability). Para athletes with physical impairments either compete on handcycles, tricycles or bicycles, while those with a visual impairment compete on tandems with a sighted ‘pilot’. Para cycling is divided into track and road events, with seven events in total. Classification explained In Para sport classification provides the structure for fair and equitable competition to ensure that winning is determined by skill, fitness, power, endurance, tactical ability and mental focus – the same factors that account for success in sport for able-bodied athletes. The Para sport classification assessment process identifies the eligibility of each Para athlete’s impairment, and groups them into a sport class according to the degree of activity limitation resulting from their impairment. Classification is sport-specific as an eligible impairment affects a Para athlete’s ability to perform in different sports to a different extent. Each Para sport has a different classification system. Standard Classification in detail Para-Cycling sport classes include: Handcycle sport classes H1 – 5: There are five different sport classes for handcycle racing. The lower numbers indicate a more severe activity limitation. Para athletes competing in the H1 classes have a complete loss of trunk and leg function and limited arm function, e.g. as a result of a spinal cord injury. Para athletes in the H4 class have limited or no leg function, but good trunk and arm function. Para cyclists in sport classes H1 – 4 compete in a reclined position. Para cyclists in the H5 sport class sit on their knees because they are able to use their arms and trunk to accelerate the handcycle.

The VA Office of National Veterans Sports Programs & Special Events provides a monthly assistance allowance for disabled Veterans training in Paralympic sports, as well as certain disabled Veterans selected for or competing with the national Olympic Team, as authorized by 38 U.S.C. 322(d) and Section 703 of the Veterans’ Benefits Improvement Act of 2008. Through the program, VA will pay a monthly allowance to a Veteran with either a service-connected or non-service-connected disability if the Veteran meets the minimum military standards or higher (i.e. Emerging Athlete or National Team) in his or her respective Paralympic sport at a recognized competition. In addition to making the VMAA standard, an athlete must also be nationally or internationally classified by his or her respective Paralympic sport federation as eligible for Paralympic competition. VA will also pay a monthly allowance to a Veteran with a service-connected disability rated 30 percent or greater by VA who is selected for a national Olympic Team for any month in which the Veteran is competing in any event sanctioned by the National Governing Bodies of the Olympic Sport in the United State, in accordance with P.L.

  • Facilities Environmental Severity Classification Study Report
    Facilities Environmental Severity Classification Study Final Report Nicholas A. Silver and Wolfgang Gaebel 16 February 2017 Abstract: This study provides an in-depth review and analysis of existing environmental severity classification and corrosion monitoring efforts and makes recommendations for potentially employing environmental severity classification methodology. By utilizing weather and corrosion data and mapping technology, a baseline environmental severity can be obtained to help decision makers better understand their operating environment and manage the risks associated with corrosion. Executive Summary The Department of Defense (DoD) designs, operates, and manages a vast array of assets, including facilities (buildings, structures, and linear structures), in a variety of environments with varying levels of corrosivity, making corrosion control and sustainment an on-going engineering challenge. The annual cost of corrosion for DoD facilities is estimated at almost $3 billion1. To address corrosion, planning, design, construction, and sustainment personnel must make decisions based on their respective operational requirements and resource availability. In accordance with DoDI 5000.672, the DoD has a requirement to implement Corrosion Protection and Control (CPC) throughout the life cycle of all facilities. Employing environmental severity classification methodology could aid in managing the risks associated with corrosion. Characterization of environmental severity is a technical characteristic that provides a basis for making

  • Women in the Olympic and Paralympic Games
    WOMEN IN THE OLYMPIC AND PARALYMPIC GAMES An Analysis of Participation and Leadership Opportunities April 2013 RESEARCH REPORT SHARP Center for Women & Girls Sport | Health | Activity | Research | Policy Foreword and Acknowledgments This study is the fourth report in the series that follows the progress of women in the Olympic and Paralympic movement. The first three reports were published by the Women’s Sports Foundation. This report is published by SHARP, the Sport, Health and Activity Research and Policy Center for Women and Girls. The report provides the most accurate, comprehensive and up-to-date examination of the participation trends among female Olympic and Paralympic athletes and the hiring and governance trends of Olympic and Paralympic governing bodies with respect to the number of women who hold leadership positions in these organizations. It is intended to provide governing bodies, athletes and policymakers at the national and international level with new and accurate information with an eye toward making the Olympic and Paralympic movement equitable for all. SHARP, the Sport, Health and Activity Research and Policy Center for Women and Girls, was established in 2010 as a new partnership between the Women’s Sports Foundation and University of Michigan’s School of Kinesiology and Institute for Research on Women & Gender. SHARP’s mission is to lead evidence-based research that enhances the scope, experience and sustainability of participation in sport, play and movement for women and girls. Leveraging the research leadership of the University of Michigan with the policy and programming expertise of the Women’s Sports Foundation, findings from SHARP research will better inform public engagement, advocacy and implementation to enable more women and girls to be active, healthy and successful.
