Catalyzing Partnerships to Enable Infrastructure and Broaden Participation

چکیده
When we first set about designing the PFI program, we had many hours of lively debate about how it should be structured. What guidelines should we develop for prospective grantees? What parameters should we require of the partnerships? We all knew that PFI would best serve its purpose if it attracted a wide variety of institutions, partnerships, and proposed experiments and innovation. In the end, we decided to place very few restrictions in the proposal description. We wanted to provide the maximum freedom possible for grantees to be innovative about innovation.. .. We've reached out to find the capable people with the best ideas to begin the extraordinary process of transforming our innovation system to meet the needs of the 21st Century. To paraphrase one breakout session's plenary report: " The PFI aims to catalyze innovation, and partnerships are how we go about doing that. " This chapter accordingly describes workshop discussions regarding three further aims of the PFI program that are related to partnerships and their growth: catalyzing partnerships, catalyzing enabling infrastructure, and broadening participation in the national innovation enterprise.
