Finally, we offer the following recommendations to initiate and inform discussions about action that can begin today to move the research enterprise toward the ideal state.

• document and evaluate the existing models and philosophies of grants making
• support and improve communication across research and administrative professions within the enterprise
• identify and share best practices in communicating within the enterprise and with the public about science
• continue to invest in the identification and diffusion of best practices in communicating with the public about science
• continue to invest in the development, deployment, and adoption of standards for common data, tools, and activities
• experiment with business models that reflect different assumptions about institutional relationships
• continue to experiment with virtual collaboration work models and technologies
• identify and apply the knowledge gained through funded research to the needs of the research enterprise itself.
• coordinate announcements of focus areas across the enterprise.

Together with the research agenda, these recommendations comprise a balanced strategy for building future knowledge while acting on today's promising ideas.
