Description

A reusable organizational pattern in which national workshops convene experts around designated theme areas, and the collaborations formed there are converted into funded partnership projects across institutions. The article reports "first-year progress in d+ning a set of CILT partnership projects with many other institutions that came out $our national theme-team workshops." The pattern links agenda-setting (choosing themes where research is likely to yield major gains) to concrete multi-institution projects.
