Community Data Cluster
What we did: Connected users and local data experts to help improve drinking water quality in Flint, Michigan.
Why we did it: Community-based research has the ability to increase the quality of life and stability for at-risk community members.

The work continues: The Community Data Cluster is now merged with the Community Resilience Cluster.
