# Coordination of Nanotechnology Research Facilities

> **NSF 01002627DB NSF RESEARCH & RELATED ACTIVIT** · Georgia Tech Research Corporation (GA) · $725,000

## Abstract

The National Nanotechnology Coordinated Infrastructure (NNCI) comprises 16 university sites and their partners, funded by the National Science Foundation starting from 2015-2024, to provide open access to nanoscale fabrication and characterization user facilities and staff expertise across the nation. The Coordination of Nanotechnology Research Facilities is designed to facilitate and provide continuity of the NNCI as it transitions to a new network, the National Quantum and Nanotechnology Infrastructure (NQNI). The goal of this proposed effort is to maintain a national network that catalyzes discovery in nanoscience and nanoengineering and helps transform these discoveries into technologies and products that address global grand challenges. This objective is enabled through programs of user and site support, education and outreach, societal and ethical implications, computation, innovation and entrepreneurship, and helps provide linkages with other national and international nanotechnology resources. The activities of the NNCI contribute to the economic competitiveness of the U.S. in training a globally competitive workforce and in providing efficient access to resources for commercialization of nanotechnology. They also help to inform and educate the general public on fundamentals and advances of nanoscience and engineering and their societal impact.

The objective of the Coordination of Nanotechnology Research Facilities is to strengthen and accelerate discovery in nanoscale science and engineering throughout the US and world by supporting the continuing goals of the National Nanotechnology Coordinated Infrastructure (NNCI) to provide access to enabling infrastructure and staff expertise. The network working groups and research communities will be supported to solve common problems, share best practices, and address specific research areas. Workshops, symposia, and staff exchange activities will be funded to encourage collaboration. Development of materials, to
