From page 1...
... The NCNR should develop and maintain a strategic plan that takes into account current and anticipated NIST organizational structures, mission factors, staffing, budgets, fuel and infrastructure resources, and its user constituency. While numerous interactions exist between NCNR staff and other NIST staff in the various laboratory units, more formalized and coordinated planning could lead to new opportunities, or at least enhance the effectiveness of the current interactions.

From page 2...
... The potential impact of the reduction in funding for the collaboration between NIST and the National Science Foundation involving the Center for High Resolution Neutron Scattering should be carefully examined, documented, and addressed. nSoft, the new program designed to enhance industrial collaborations and contribute toward NIST's mission, appears to be a productive model for industrial outreach and engagement.
