WASHINGTON, Dec. 15 -- Thirteen US universities will participate in the National Nanotechnology Infrastructure Network (NNIN), a five-year project funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) to provide user facilities to support the nation's need for education and research in nanoscale science and engineering.
The team will be co-led by Stanford University and Cornell University and includes Harvard, the University of Michigan, the University of Minnesota, the University of Washington, the University of California at Santa Barbara, the University of Texas at Austin, Georgia Institute of Technology, the University of New Mexico, North Carolina State University, Pennsylvania State University and Howard University.
The NSF announced last week it will allocate $14 million annually to NNIN for nanotechnology research.
