Current Solicitations
The DOE Center for Integrated Nanotechnologies offers a solicitation database for learning about nanoscience research funding opportunities by Federal agencies.
See also: Scholarships, Fellowships, & Postdoctoral Positions
Note: Not all federal agencies have specific webpages for nanotechnology funding opportunities. In addition, solicitations often are worded generally and the technological tools to be employed, whether micro-, nano- or macro-scale, are not specified. Looking broadly into areas of interest—for instance, toxin removal or semi-conducting materials— is often the best approach.
New Solicitations
- June 12, 2008 deadline — The Molecular Foundry at Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory, a national nanoscience user facility, is now accepting requests for no cost access to its instruments, techniques, and skilled staff from scientists seeking to enhance their own research projects. The next opportunity to submit your proposals will not be until October 2008.
