The National Alliance for Water Innovation (NAWI) is the U.S. DOE's 5-year, $110M research Hub focused on desalination and water reuse. NAWI is organized into three Topic Areas in which projects are managed and coordinated: Materials and Manufacturing R&D (M&M), Process Innovation and Intensification R&D (PI&I), and Data, Modeling, and Analysis (DMA). In its first 3.5 years, NAWI has established the largest integrated DOE Innovation Hub (108 Research Consortium member organizations, 440 Alliance member organizations) anchored around its APRIME vision for lowering the cost and energy of desalination and water reuse. NAWI has selected 74 research projects to date, and several have reported major advances in desalination research and technology in leading scientific publications.
