National Science Foundation
Nanoscale Science and Engineering
Nanoscale Interdisciplinary Research Teams (NIRT)
Nanoscale Exploratory Research (NER)
Nanoscale Science and Engineering Centers (NSEC)
School of Medicine deadline: September 3, 2003
UW Office of Research deadline: September 5, 2003
NSF deadline: October 22, 2003
Web site: http://www.nsf.gov/pubs/2003/nsf03043/nsf03043.pdf
The National Science Foundation (NSF) announces a program on collaborative
research and education in the area of nanoscale science and engineering.
The goal of this program is to support fundamental research and catalyze
synergistic science and engineering research and education in emerging
areas of nanoscale science and technology, including: biosystems at
the nanoscale; nanoscale structures, novel phenomena, and quantum control;
nanoscale devices and system architecture; nanoscale processes in the
environment; multi-scale, multi-phenomena theory, modeling and simulation
at the nanoscale; manufacturing processes at the nanoscale; and studies
on the societal and educational implications of scientific and technological
advances on the nanoscale. This solicitation will provide support for
Nanoscale Interdisciplinary Research Teams (NIRT) (only four proposals
accepted from the UW), Nanoscale Exploratory Research (NER) (only
three proposals accepted from the UW), and Nanoscale Science and
Engineering Centers (NSEC) (only one proposal accepted from the UW).
This fiscal year 2004 competition is in the fourth year of the National
Nanotechnology Initiative (NNI). Collaborative research among physicists,
chemists, biologists, materials scientists, geoscientists, mathematicians,
computer scientists, engineers, social scientists, economic scientists,
and educators will be necessary. The areas of increased fundamental
research and education focus are novel instrumentation, nanomaterials
and manufacturing processes at the nanoscale, nanoelectronics and challenges
faced by conventional CMOS technology, nanobiosystems with relevance
to healthcare, devices for biological, chemical, radiological and explosive
agents detection and protection, energy conversion and storage, and
influences of social networks on development and application of nanoscale
science, engineering and technology. Research on converging science
and technology integrated from the nanoscale for revolutionary products
and improving human performance also are encouraged.
Each of the themes should emphasize the integration of research and
education, including course development, student fellowships, and other
aspects according to the nature of the project.
A related program solicitation will focus on Nanotechnology Science
and Engineering Education (NSEE) for FY 2004 which will provide support
for four components: Centers for Learning and Teaching in Nanoscale
Science and Engineering (NCLT), Informal Science Education in Nanoscale
Science and Engineering (NISE), Instructional Materials Development
in Nanoscale Science and Engineering (NIMD), and Nanotechnology in Undergraduate
Education (NUE). Other research and education projects in nanoscale
science and engineering will continue to be supported in the relevant
Programs and Divisions.
Nanotechnology Undergraduate Education was included in the Nanoscale
Science and Engineering (NSE) program solicitation for FY 2003 (NSF
02-148). It has been moved to the NSEE program solicitation for FY 2004.
School of Medicine researchers need to submit a preproposal, ten copies
of the packet must be sent to Associate Dean, Dr. Albert Berger, Box
356340 by Wednesday, September 3. The proposals will then be reviewed
and the packet forwarded to the Office of Research by their September
5 deadline. Please contact
Colleen Shay (616-5886 or cshay@u.washington.edu)
if you have any questions. Non-School of Medicine researchers
should check with their school for application instructions. The finalist
pre-proposals and nine copies will be sent to Peggy Fanning, Office
of Research, Box 351202, by Friday, September 5, 2003.
The proposal must include the following:
1. A one-two page overview that identifies the program to which you
are applying; briefly describes the proposed project(s), targeted groups,
number of participants, and anticipated outcomes.
2. A one-page summary from each investigator on their contributions
on the project.
3. A one-page CV for each investigator.
All pre-proposals will be reviewed by the Provost's Review Committee
the week following the Office of Research Sept. 5 deadline. The four/one
selected proposal(s) (depending on program selected), must be to Grants
and Contract Services by October 15, 2003 in order to make NFS's October
22, 2003 deadline.
