... Research findings can inform training strategies as well as new program areas, and can lead to the development of more refined conceptual frameworks. Furthermore, private–public sector collaboration could be improved with a better understanding of how such collaboration is born, develops, and functions in the larger context of state-level and federal-level initiatives and, where applicable, in the larger context of global businesses and national and international civil society.

... As sponsored research on private–public collaboration develops and matures, DHS itself will need a means of disseminating research findings. Establish a national repository and clearinghouse, administered by a neutral entity, to archive and disseminate information on community resilience-focused private–public sector collaboration models, operational frameworks, community disaster-resilience case studies, evidence-based best practices, and resilience-related data and research findings.
