and DOE's basic energy sciences program have been critical in the advancement of foundational science, leading to innovations in materials and processes, efficiencies, cost reductions, and advanced manufacturing strategies. Future enabling activities are needed to address the most sophisticated challenges yet to be confronted.

If not a full reorganization of DOE, Wall advocated for at least a strengthening of DOE's matrix management structures to eliminate conflicts, duplication, and gaps, and to facilitate and reinforce cross-sector interconnections and collaboration. CATHERINE WOTEKI Professor of Food Science and Human Nutrition, Iowa State University There has been multidecadal bipartisan support for research on biofuels, bioenergy, and new products from agricultural commodities in both Congress and administrations, began Woteki.

The initiative awards competitive grants to projects that integrate science and engineering research in feedstock development, biofuels and biobased products, and biofuels development analysis. DISCUSSION Following the speakers' remarks, Goldstein and Kelly moderated a discussion session that covered industry engagement, regionality and scale, organizational structures, growth and recovery, the circular economy, and agricultural opportunities.

From page 62... ...
Organizational Structure Asked to comment on the top priorities for reorganization within DOE, Wall drew on the matrix management model. He described how matrix management takes advantage of the strong capabilities historically siloed into distinct disciplines by sharing those employees and resources across functions.

He expressed that AMO's workforce development activities will be key, but this will also require new policies to support domestic manufacturing and supply chains. Circular Economy Thinking about plastics and petrochemicals, Kelly asked about the possibility of biomanufacturing products that are highly durable but still possess the properties of a circular economy.

Also funded by ARPA-E, the ROOTS program seeks to develop advanced technologies that enable more robust roots systems for increased carbon sequestration in annual crops. These ARPA-E funded technologies, in turn, are being brought into USDA's research activities.
