Active Nanostructures and Nanosystems: The National Science Foundation (NSF) announces a program on collaborative research and education in the area of active nanostructures and nanosystems, and on the long-term social change associated with these innovations. The goal of this program is to support fundamental research and catalyze synergistic science and engineering research and education in several emerging areas of nanoscale science and technology, including: fundamental nanoscale phenomena and processes in active nanostructures; nanosystems with improved functionality and new architectures; hierarchical nanomanufacturing; and long-term societal and educational implications of scientific and technological advances on the nanoscale. This solicitation will provide support for Nanoscale Interdisciplinary Research Teams (NIRT) and Nanoscale Exploratory Research (NER). A related program solicitation will focus on Nanotechnology Undergraduate Education (NUE) for FY 2006. Other research and education projects in nanoscale science and engineering will continue to be supported in the relevant Programs and Divisions.
