Awareness and Localization of Explosives-Related Threats (ALERT) Center
ALERT is a multi-university Department of Homeland Security Center of Excellence (COE). The center seeks to conduct transformational research, technology and educational development for effective characterization, detection, mitigation and response to the explosives-related threats facing the country and the world.
Bernard M. Gordon Center for Subsurface Sensing and Imaging Systems (CenSSIS)
CenSSIS seeks to revolutionize our ability to detect and image biomedical and environmental-civil objects or conditions that are underground, underwater, or embedded within cells or inside the human body.
Center for High-rate Nanomanufacturing (CHN)
CHN is focused on developing tools and processes that will enable high-rate/high-volume bottom-up, precise, parallel assembly of nanoelements (such as carbon nanotubes, nanoparticles, etc.) and polymer nanostructures.
Center for Ultra-wide-area Resilient Electric Energy Transmission Network (CURENT)
The Center for Ultra-wide-area Resilient Electric Energy Transmission Networks is a multi-university National Science Foundation Engineering Research Center, jointly supported by NSF and the Department of Energy. Its mission is to build a more reliable, secure and efficient electric grid transmission system that uses renewable energy sources.
Integrative Graduate and Research Traineeship (IGERT)
IGERT Nanomedicine Science and Technology is a new integrated doctoral education program in the emerging field of Nanomedicine, created with support from the National Cancer Institute and the National Science Foundation.
The MSC is the marine research and educational facility of Northeastern University. Offering a pristine New England rocky shore habitat in close proximity to Boston, the MSC is a globally recognized center of marine science research and education. The Marine Science Center is part of the Department of Marine and Environmental Sciences.
