The United States is committed to the long-term, sustainable growth of this burgeoning field through Federal funding programs.
NNI member agencies have identified areas ripe for significant advance through close and targeted program-level interagency collaboration, with the objective of accelerating nanotechnology development in support of the President's priorities and innovation strategy.
A significant impact of the NNI has been the focused investment in establishment and development of multidisciplinary research and education centers devoted to nanoscience and nanotechnology.
The NNI supports a network of user facilities that are open to researchers and provide the high-tech tools and equipment needed to study and develop nanotechnologies.
There are a variety of funding opportunities through funding programs, industry partnerships, and regional and state government programs and initiatives.
