To advance research in nanoscale science,
engineering and technology, the National Science Foundation (NSF) will
provide a total of $81 million over five years to support 16 sites and a
coordinating office as part of a new National Nanotechnology
Coordinated Infrastructure (NNCI).
The NNCI sites will provide researchers from academia, government,
and companies large and small with access to university user facilities
with leading-edge fabrication and characterization tools,
instrumentation, and expertise within all disciplines of nanoscale
science, engineering and technology.
The NNCI framework builds on the National Nanotechnology Infrastructure Network (NNIN), which enabled major discoveries, innovations, and contributions to education and commerce for more than 10 years.
"NSF's long-standing investments in nanotechnology infrastructure have helped the research community to make great progress
by making research facilities available," said Pramod Khargonekar,
assistant director for engineering. "NNCI will serve as a nationwide
backbone for nanoscale research, which will lead to continuing
innovations and economic and societal benefits."
The awards are up to five years and range from $500,000 to $1.6
million each per year. Nine of the sites have at least one regional
partner institution. These 16 sites are located in 15 states and involve
27 universities across the nation.
Through a fiscal year 2016 competition, one of the newly awarded
sites will be chosen to coordinate the facilities. This coordinating
office will enhance the sites' impact as a national nanotechnology
infrastructure and establish a web portal to link the individual
facilities' websites to provide a unified entry point to the user
community of overall capabilities, tools and instrumentation. The office
will also help to coordinate and disseminate best practices for
national-level education and outreach programs across sites.
Funding for the NNCI program is provided by all NSF directorates and the Office of International Science and Engineering.

The National Science Foundation (NSF) is an independent federal
agency that supports fundamental research and education across all
fields of science and engineering. In fiscal year (FY) 2015, its budget
is $7.3 billion. NSF funds reach all 50 states through grants to nearly
2,000 colleges, universities and other institutions. Each year, NSF
receives about 48,000 competitive proposals for funding, and makes about
11,000 new funding awards. NSF also awards about $626 million in
professional and service contracts yearly.
