... , and their sub-awardees also contribute their institutional memory, education, technological leadership, and strong service ethic. Given stated that the user support services provided by the facilities keeps principal investigators "blissfully ignorant" of all of the logistical arrangements that are necessary to allow complex science to be done in any remote location on Earth.

... The workshop proceedings may also be used by the Catalyzing Opportunities for Research in the Earth Sciences Consensus Study Committee in deliberations regarding its second task: scientific infrastructure needed to advance the high-priority Earth science research, the current inventory of research infrastructure supported by EAR and other relevant areas of NSF, and analysis of capability. Based on the enthusiasm with which managers of different scientific facilities were willing to participate in the workshop, the workshop planning committee was hopeful that the resultant workshop proceedings would also be useful to scientific facility managers wishing to improve their own operations.
