Discussion Questions:
- What is the state of the science - what do we know?
- What are the scientific gaps - what do we not know?
- What obstacles (scientific, infrastructure, technical)
impede progress, and what needs to be done to remove
the obstacles? Are there solutions to some of these problems
that work?
- What expertise, disciplines, and linkages do we need
to “bring to the table” to enhance progress?
- What are the partnering opportunities with other DCCPS
programs?
