... The Statement of Task notes that outcomes may include "those related to addressing specific national priorities, advancing knowledge, building human resource capacity, supporting commercial innovation, producing economic, environmental, and social benefits, and/or increasing public engagement." This chapter describes various ways in which collaboration is occurring within the land-grant system and includes several examples of ongoing activities perceived by one or more Panel members as having outcomes such as those listed in the Statement of Task (which appear here in bold in the text describing the examples)

... Across the United States, soils are being degraded, the result of human-caused factors from changing land use practices to climate change. The project's impact statement notes, "For 60 years, researchers from more than 24 State Agricultural Experiment Stations have worked together to better understand how water, energy, and nutrients move through and interact with soil." In advancing knowledge, the project has helped state and federal agencies develop new tools and best management practices that provide economic, environmental, and social benefits such as reducing flood risks, storing nuclear waste, predicting drought and wildfires, and addressing dust and mine runoff.

... Successes of the program include the fact that 12 research stations welcome all faculty across both institutions, the university presidents talk to each other, and there is recognition that participants must remain mindful of the disparate resource allocations and do not require everything to be "equal." Independently of the extension program, the Institute for Critical Technology and Applied Science at Virginia Tech initiated the Diversity and Inclusion Seed Investments Program to build other research partnerships between Tech faculty and faculty at HBCUs and minority-serving institutions (Jalali et al., 2021)

... It also provides a foundation to establish flourishing relationships and collaboration as well as a potential pathway for reducing administrative barriers caused by differences in management practices and policies among member institutions. Some of the goals of MILES include addressing programmatic and research requests; developing leadership; conserving natural resources; conducting family and consumer science; and promoting health, nutrition, and economic development.
