at NSF, our public affairs office is changing our paradigm a
bit and trying to be more proactive in our approach to
promoting facilities/centers, taking advantage of your
events and initiatives that have a strong local/regional
impact. This requires greater awareness of existing
communications capabilities and resources, and in the past
we haven’t had much awareness of these kinds of things at
many of our centers and facilities, unfortunately. We’re
hoping this new approach will allow us to better support and
amplify your efforts, while also serving NSF’s strategic
communications and branding goals.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
