NIST, Electron and Optical Physics Division - Center for Nanoscale Science and Technology Financial Assistance Program: The primary program objectives of the financial assistance program in Nanoscale Science and Technology are to develop new measurement methods, instrumentation and standards for nanotechnology and explore new areas of nanoscale science and technology in a variety of areas including nanofabrication, nanomagnetics, theory and modeling, post-complementary metal oxide semiconductor electronics, nano-electro mechanical systems, nanomotion and nanomanipulation, merging length scales, 2-D and 3-D structural and chemical imaging, electrical and magnetic dynamical response of nanostructures, electrical characterization of nanostructures, nanoscale properties of soft matter, neutron scattering determination of nanoscale properties, nanobiology, and nanomedicine; to assist and train CNST collaborators and nanofabrication facility users in their research; and to conduct other outreach and educational activities that advance the development of nanotechnology by U.S. university and industrial scientists. This will entail collaborative research among the selected financial assistance recipients and CNST staff scientists and visiting scientists to advance these objectives, primarily at CNSTs Nanofab, a national user facility for nanoscale science and technology that is described on the website cnst.nist.gov.Applicants and team members must possess the education, experience, and training, to pursueand advance the field of Nanoscale Science and Technology efficiently. In addition, the applicant and team members must possess a demonstrated record of excellence in the development of measurement methods, instrumentation or standards for nanotechnology and in nanotechnology research.
