NSF has invested $10 million in innovative new partnership projects to create service systems that are smart and human-centric. Several of these projects tie into NSF's investments in smart and connected communities, whether through energy, healthcare, environmental or other services. Shown here is a research team lead by Clarkson University engineer Thomas H. Ortmeyer, who is developing advanced resilient microgrid technology to improve disaster response capability.
