Here is a really interesting request for proposals from the Connect Us Fund. The fund has established operating principals that include a value for "network-centric" behavior. I would love to find out more about the review process and the level of network theory incorporated.
I am really happy to see the foundation community start to look at issues of network capacity vs. organizational capacity. My personal goal is to see the theory developed, additional thinkers and leaders recruited, pilot projects developed and campaigns implemented. This is a giant step in that right direction.
