I assume all of these fields would be free text values ? And most likely you can have more than one staff member, and for each of them there is a short free form biography ?

Think Approach is too general, PI should be on the governance page. Funding source should accommodate multiple sources. Vision may be too redundant with Mission. Staff members probably needs to be somewhere else if we are going to include bios, it will overwhelm the rest of the info on the page. Think this gets us down to a short list: Mission, Values, History, Organizational Partners, Funding Source.
