## CTS Priorities

**Ideas** - CTS will lead engineering discovery and innovation in chemical and transport systems through increased investigator-identified and -defined awards.
**Interdisciplinary Program** - CTS will enhance its support of interdisciplinary research through the creation of a CTS interdisciplinary research program.
**Priority Areas** - CTS will enhance its impact in the following research areas: Nanoscale science and engineering,Safety and security, Smart manufacturing and processing, Environmentally-friendly and energy-focused processes and products.
**People** - CTS will develop a diverse group of leaders within the chemical and transport systems community through faculty development and student education.
**Organizational Excellence** – CTS will enhance its divisional operations and staff development

## BES Priorities

**CAREER** - BES program officers hold CAREER awards in high priority.
**Unsolicited Awards** - As much as BES Program Officers hold CAREER awards in high priority, they also want unsolicited awards to have high priority.
**BEB Cluster** - The BEB Cluster would like to see Quantitative Systems Biotechnology, Metabolic Engineering, and Small Group awards all be high priority.
**BME/RAPD Cluster** - The BME/RAPD Cluster would like to see biophotonics, senior design projects, and multiscale modeling awards all be priority.
**EET Cluster** - Unsolicited, CAREER, and CLEANER all are priority, and there also is a desire to fund some high-potential SGERS.

**Issues**

**Program Content**** - Define new programs to better serve and lead the communities.**
**Organizational/administrative structure**** – Consider options related to programs, thrusts, priority areas,clusters, cross-cutting priorities, and interdisciplinary research.**
**People**** – Responsibilities of existing PDs and staff.**
**Budgets**** – Budget allocations, existing mortgages, solicitations, etc.**
**Name**** – Various combinations include CBTE, BECT, CTBE, BCET, ...  **
