Thank you.
The model of extension outreach--and here I can speak from the university setting--is a great model. It's training the next generation to go back and work in the industry and this system of continuing education or outreach is bringing the new information back out into the field.
In our area of veterinary medicine, our veterinarians, of course, are on the farms, working with the producers and bringing the newest information on animal health back to them. And I would presume there are similar roles in other areas.
I would just like to add a comment on the clusters as well. I really applaud the Growing Forward program for its focus on creating these clusters, because that's a way of not only bringing ideas together for the research but also then disseminating the information much more broadly.
I would like to pose a suggestion there be an additional focus in terms of making sure that these clusters actually are interacting with each other and are not a group of isolated projects, and that a series of national advisory committees, or whatever, actually evaluate the cluster on its cooperative work.
