"We also want to be sure that we encourage innovation and risk-taking because nobody knows best."
"We all want to see stronger evaluation and greater accountability."
"I think that the innovation comes through those very strong partnerships, and there are resources out there."
"I do have some additional questions for all of our panelists."
