extend to activities directed toward the broader impacts of the project as well.”• “… such efforts might be more effective if coordinated appropriately in ways that leverage particular institutional assets or strategic directions and even link investigators from multiple projects.”• NSF should encourage institutions to pursue such cooperative possibilities, which have the dual benefit of retaining the contributions of individual investigators while addressing national goals and yielding benefits broader than those within a given project.• How can engineering colleges and departments respond to this opportunity?
