2015 Bold Awards Recognize Government Innovators

An open-source digital tool for crisis responders, a state-of-the-art relaunch of a health data repository and a security-vetting tool for the Defense Department following the horrific Washington Navy Yard shooting. These were only a handful of the many talented federal and industry innovators recognized at the third annual Nextgov Bold Awards. Out of a pool of more than 100 talented nominees, Nextgov’s editorial team selected 10 winners who have taken strategic risks to boost their agency’s technological prowess. The event also honored one member of the federal workforce selected by the public to receive the "People’s Choice Award."
