New knowledge created by federally funded research is, in many cases, highly relevant to the achievement of the ideal research enterprise. Research findings in organizational behavior, decision making, risk assessment, information technology, digital libraries, information preservation, economics, interpersonal and interorganizational relations, and other topics may all pertain. To take advantage of this rich array of knowledge, the enterprise must actively seek it out and invest in efforts to select and apply it to its own further development. In the spirit of the old story, the shoemaker's children deserve shoes.
