Coordination is largely self-explanatory.
Each research cluster is composed of specific research projects. A research cluster is an energy-related technical area identified by the state with potential for increased competitive strength. The research cluster may target one or more academic disciplines related to a specific DOE technical research program area, but should share a common research focus. A research project is an individual project supporting an identified research cluster. All the projects within a research cluster must have a common DOE programmatic research focus and have significant collaborative interaction among the project's staff.
