Active Nanostructures and Nanosystems: The National Science Foundation (NSF) announces a program on collaborative research and education in the area of active nanostructures, nanosystems, and on the long-term societal change associated with these innovations. Active nanostructures change or evolve their structure, property, or function during their operation. 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 engineering, including: *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 provides support for Nanoscale Interdisciplinary Research Teams (NIRT) and Nanoscale Exploratory Research (NER). Other research and education projects in nanoscale science and engineering will continue to be supported in the relevant programs and divisions.
