· David Drake finished up a two-year grant last year from the national Head Start office. A major focus of his research was to develop a model by which state partners could measure the collaborative "maturity" of counties as well as a model to measure the health of the service delivery systems in each county. The purposes for the research was to determine why some counties did better at collaboration than others, determine if these counties also delivered better results, and to learn from the higher-functioning counties.

· Adrian Roberts has been working on a consulting contract with Battelle, to design a
research and applications center for the convergence of biosciences with
electronics and IT on Long Island. He is also involved with the safety of RBMK
reactors and how to change the Russian management approach at the
plants. Finally, he is involved in strategy development for a "Carbon Constrained
World".
