NSF has long supported the fundamental research that underlies smart and connected communities, including advanced networking and connectivity; sensing and real-time data analytics; and control, automation, and decision-making. The agency has also been instrumental in transitioning these technologies to widespread use, as in the case of the US Ignite initiative, which seeded the development of numerous new gigabit applications, from improved regional radar systems to interactive fitness apps. Today, NSF announced nearly $40 million in funding commitments that continues to expand upon NSF's existing leadership in enabling smart and connected communities.
