Experiments planned for the near future, particularly those connected 
with the Jefferson Lab 12 GeV upgrade and a future electron ion collider, will provide access to 
strong interaction dynamics and associated bound state mechanisms with unprecedented levels of detail. I 
will summarize how these new sources of experimental data will ultimately lead to profound new 
insights into the underlying QCD dynamics of hadron and nuclear structure. Extensions of QCD 
factorization theorems are necessary for interpreting transverse momentum dependent cross sections, and I 
will explain some of the important recent developments in transverse momentum dependent factorization that 
make this possible. I will continue with a description of my current efforts to organize a broad 
theoretical-experimental collaborative network for the study of transverse momentum dependence.  Our ultimate 
goal is to extract information about hadron structure by implementing the transverse momentum dependent 
factorization program, in concert with non-perturbative QCD methods, in the analysis of 
forthcoming data from a wide variety of processes. Along the way, I will elaborate on important near-term 
milestones as well as on broad, long-term goals.
