The Daily Record announced Thursday its 2014 Innovators of the Year, celebrating Marylanders and Maryland-based companies for their innovative spirit.

Twenty-eight innovators will be celebrated during the awards event on Oct. 15 at the American Visionary Art Museum, at 800 Key Highway in Baltimore.

Innovator of the Year nominees were asked to complete an application that explained their innovation and the impact it has made on Maryland. The nominations were judged on their originality, impact, challenge and value. The Daily Record began the Innovator of the Year awards in 2002.

“This year’s Innovators of the Year are on the cutting edge. They represent the best of Maryland in diverse fields, such as technology, education, health care and community work,” said Suzanne Fischer-Huettner, publisher of The Daily Record. “They make the extraordinary, ordinary and the impossible, possible.”

Among this year’s honorees are Nancy S. Grasmick, of Towson University, for All SySTEMs Go, a coordinated, fully integrated research-based approach to launch Maryland students on a college and career pathway in science, technology, engineering and mathematics. Another innovator, Dr. Matthew Frieman, of the University of Maryland School of Medicine, conducted research to prevent and treat the deadly outbreak of the Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus and severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus.
