From page 37...
... The current panel assessment criteria used for this report are adequate and comprehensive, yet additional considerations should include the following: -- Synchronization in the strategic plans of NIST, the EEEL, and EEEL's divisions; -- Project priority setting, using clearly defined factors; -- Workability of the administrative boundary between NIST and the EEEL; and -- Projects' alignment with the national priorities. The Smart Grid program, in need of an integrated and collaborative effort, calls for the deliberation of a technical management structure that sets the program's roadmap, selects expertise, monitors the process, and manages the operation, being responsible for the program's progress.

... A clearer roadmap is needed, or at least a more coherent picture of how the detector work complements the source work and how this all comes together into a coherent program that encompasses all of the interesting research. There should be a specific roadmap for the quantum candela project, stating the problem, the specific goal of the single-photon source to replace the current blackbody source, and a proposed plan on how to get from here to there.

... ELECTROMAGNETICS DIVISION A focus on the application of superconductivity to the future smart electrical grid initiatives should be pursued to continue the Superconductivity program team's national leadership role in superconducting measurements and to participate in an important cross-divisional laboratory project. Widespread collaboration is essential; the extent of these collaborations should be more formally explained during future reviews.
