Northeastern wins $10m Homeland Security grant

Northeastern University said it is the first university in Massachusetts to win a Centers of Excellence Grant from the US Department of Homeland Security for explosive detection, mitigation, and response.

The Department of Homeland Security said that Northeastern will receive a grant of $10 million over the next four years and noted that research involving explosives detection could eventually lead to significant job creation.
