South Dakota proposes a research infrastructure improvement project tostrengthen the state's research in Photo-Activated Nanoscale Systems (PANS). PANS reflects the interface between nanotechnology and photo-active materials, an area that holds great promise for research development and commercial applications. Two research components will be supported under this award: 1) third generation photovoltaic devices based on spectral conversion of solar radiation and 2) photo-active nano-inks for direct-write electronics fabrication. The third generation photovoltaic research will focus on a new strategy for manipulating the solar spectrum to match photovoltaic devices as alternative sources of energy generation. The photo-active nano-inks research is targeted on new electronic device fabrication by using nanoscale-based inks that are enabled by photo-active methods. Both research areas are of interest to the federal government and private industry and lend themselves to commercial development. Participating universities include South Dakota State University (SDSU), University of South Dakota (USD), South Dakota School of Mines and Technology (SDSMT), Black Hills State University (BHSU) and Sinte Gleska University (SGU). Results of PANS research is expected to advance knowledge and development of alternative sources of energy generation, new electronic device fabrication and environmental protection and remediation. In addition to the investments in scientific research, the project also includes significant investments into institutional infrastructure improvements at Sinte Gleska University, a tribal university. Among several activities to strengthen the communications and research capacity at the university, this award will establish high-speed internet connections as well as an Access Grid that will enable research and educational interactions among SGU students and faculty with their colleagues across the state and the nation. Other programs to stimulate and support the participation of Native American students will also be funded. Consistent with South Dakota's S&T Strategic Plan to establish the state as an innovation-driven economy, this award will also support a variety of programs to stimulate interactions among the universities and the private sector, enhance technology transfer and promote an entrepreneurial culture.

South Dakota提出了一个研究基础设施改进项目，该项目已加强该州在光激活的纳米级系统（PANS）中的研究。 PANS反映了纳米技术和光活动材料之间的界面，该区域对研究开发和商业应用具有巨大的希望。 该奖项将支持两个研究组件：1）基于太阳辐射的光谱转换和2）直接焊接电子制造的光电辐射转换和2）光活性纳米墨水。 第三代光伏研究将集中于操纵太阳能光谱以匹配光伏设备作为能量产生的替代来源的新策略。 通过使用基于纳米级的墨水，通过光活动方法启用了基于纳米级的墨水，光活动的纳米墨水研究针对新的电子设备制造。 这两个研究领域都对联邦政府和私营企业都感兴趣，并为商业发展提供了支持。参加的大学包括南达科他州立大学（SDSU），南达科他大学（USD），南达科他州矿业与技术学院（SDSMT），黑山州立大学（BHSU）和Sinte Gleska University（SGU）。 PANS研究的结果有望提高能源产生，新的电子设备制造以及环境保护和补救源的替代来源的知识和发展。 除了对科学研究的投资外，该项目还包括对部落大学Sinte Gleska University的机构基础设施改进的大量投资。 在增强大学的沟通和研究能力的几项活动中，该奖项将建立高速互联网连接以及访问网格，该访问网格将使SGU学生和教职员工与全州和国家的同事之间进行研究和教育互动。 刺激和支持美国原住民学生参与的其他计划也将得到资助。与南达科他州的S＆T战略计划一致，该计划将国家建立为创新驱动的经济，该奖项还将支持各种计划，以刺激大学和私营部门之间的互动，增强技术转移并促进企业家文化。
