This project is engaging partners from universities, industry and government agencies to develop and deploy applications and services for ultra-fast broadband and software defined networks. This nationwide collaboration will nurture U.S. leadership in next-generation networking. To this end, the project is creating a neutral forum for partners to discuss guidelines for implementing next-generation capabilities and interoperability, cataloguing next-generation applications, disseminating news and best practices, and selecting and publicizing compelling applications from competitions for an annual 'Best of the Best' showcase. This project expects to transform people's lives in five national sectors. First, by accelerating breakthroughs in advanced manufacturing technologies, this project provides a foundation for private sector investment and growth. Secondly, this project fosters the next-generation of safer, smarter, more efficient clean transportation technologies. Thirdly, by revolutionizing education and workforce learning tools, this project is helping to create a world-class workforce. By fostering applications that use information and communication technologies to predict disasters, this project can also keep Americans safe and cities better prepared. Finally, this project seeks technologies to shift healthcare paradigms to empower patients through information and medical knowledge to become an active part of their own care and to allow medical experts to use data and technology to prevent medical errors, improve the quality of care, and reduce costs.

该项目正在吸引来自大学、行业和政府机构的合作伙伴，为超高速宽带和软件定义网络开发和部署应用程序和服务。这种全国性的合作将培育美国在下一代网络领域的领导地位。为此，该项目正在为合作伙伴创建一个中立的论坛，讨论实施下一代能力和互操作性的指导方针，对下一代应用程序进行编目，传播新闻和最佳做法，并从竞争中挑选和宣传令人信服的应用程序，以参加一年一度的“Best of the Best”展示。该项目预计将在五个国家部门改变人们的生活。第一，通过加快先进制造技术的突破，该项目为私营部门的投资和增长提供了基础。其次，该项目促进了下一代更安全、更智能、更高效的清洁交通技术。第三，通过革新教育和劳动力学习工具，该项目正在帮助创造一支世界级的劳动力队伍。通过培育使用信息和通信技术预测灾难的应用程序，该项目还可以确保美国人的安全，让城市更好地做好准备。最后，该项目寻求改变医疗保健模式的技术，使患者能够通过信息和医学知识成为其自身护理的积极组成部分，并允许医疗专家使用数据和技术来防止医疗差错、提高护理质量和降低成本。
