... The views of the commenters do not reflect those of the planning committee, the National Academies, or the workshop sponsors. MAGGIE BENOIT National Science Foundation I have 30 seconds here.
From page 80...
... In the field that I was interested in some years ago, which was making optical measurements in the ocean, there is ONR Small Business Innovative Research program, [which] just made tremendous contributions to how the instrumentation was advanced.
From page 81...

From page 86...
... Sometimes it is for very specific projects like recapitalizing the Global Seismographic Network over the course of many years. Sometimes it is broader than that, like being an additional voice of arguing against some of the restrictions in the America Competes Act of a few years ago.
