... Ultimately, several participants recognized that community communication is key across all issues, whether it is power, sensor design, or communication. Another thread throughout the meeting was the importance of structures to facilitate the sharing of information and experience across the broader community as a way to prevent "reinventing the wheel." Several participants noted the value of having science and engineering teams integrated from the outset of a project so that the technology development and science goals can advance together in real time.

... He pointed to several NSF funding opportunities that researchers could explore for supporting future technology development efforts, including the "Ideas Lab" solicitations; the TIP programs (see Box 1) , particularly a new "Pathways to Open Source Ecosystems" solicitation,1 the Convergence Accelerator program,2 the Small Business Innovation Research awards,3 the NSF Regional Innovation Engines program,4 and Research Coordination Network awards.5 Finally, he noted that the NSF Office of Polar Programs' Arctic and Antarctic Program office hours provide opportunities to raise questions and continue dialogue on all of these workshop topics.
