From page 105...
... • Standards and material databases are critical to technology development and diffusion; however, mission-oriented agencies do not sponsor such projects. The academic group believes that development of standards or materials databases can be a unique value proposition for the DoD Manufacturing USA institutes.
From page 106...
... • Establish institutes as "honest brokers" for technology [DoD] • Maintain outreach to members and nonmembers through workshops [DoD]
From page 107...
... Start Doing • Serve as regional coordinating body for R&D and supply chain development to establish a larger technology ecosystem with state support mechanisms [Institutes] • Some universities have unique capabilities and facilities; if properly leveraged and utilized, they can become the nuclei of regional economic development, which provides an incentive for state government to support participation in a DoD Manufacturing USA institute.
