Objective: The objective of this workshop is to discuss the major accomplishments in the last 15-20 years and the grand challenges that lie ahead in the field of micro/nanotechnology. An emphasis will be on the development of bio-and healthcare systems that will help the rapidly increasing world population and improve quality of life. This objective will be accomplished through presentations by the invited distinguished speakers, as well as, presentations by the NSF junior and mid-career researchers, who were CAREER Grantees in the last 15-20 years. The NSF CAREER Grantees will also present their accomplishments and thoughts via two Poster sessions. Furthermore, a panel session consisting of the distinguished speakers and grantees will be held at the conclusion. Intellectual Merit: The outcome of the workshop will help the participants to develop new system programs and encourage them to submit unsolicited proposals. The outcome will also be very useful to the members of the NSF, in making decisions for future funding for micro/nano-systems in Bio and Health areas. It would also provide useful information for the future EFRI Programs in the Directorate for Engineering, Cyber-Physical Systems, the STC and the ERC programs in the NSF. It is hoped that the outcome of this workshop will bridge the gap between the areas of research in nanotechnology and biology. It is expected that this workshop will lay the foundations for the emerging areas of nano-medicine including targeted drug delivery and implantable devices. Broader Impact: The plenary speakers? presentations, the Grantees presentation, their poster sessions and the outcome of the panel discussions will be videotaped and documented. The outcome and the discussions at the workshop will be widely disseminated through the web. It is anticipated that the workshop will have a long term impact on a broader group of researchers and educators in the physical science, biology, and health sciences. It will also be useful to those who consider entering into the new interdisciplinary areas of research in micro/nanosystems for health and nanomedicine. This will also encourage the development of new interdisciplinary courses and curriculum for undergraduate and graduate students.

目的：本次研讨会的目的是讨论过去15-20年的主要成就以及微纳米技术领域面临的巨大挑战。重点将放在生物和医疗保健系统的发展上，这将有助于迅速增长的世界人口并提高生活质量。这一目标将通过受邀杰出演讲者的演讲以及过去 15-20 年职业受助人的 NSF 初级和中期研究人员的演讲来实现。 NSF 职业受资助者还将通过两次海报会议展示他们的成就和想法。此外，结束时还将举行由杰出演讲者和受资助者组成的小组会议。智力优势：研讨会的成果将帮助参与者开发新的系统程序，并鼓励他们主动提交提案。该结果对于 NSF 成员在为生物和健康领域的微/纳米系统的未来资助做出决策时也非常有用。它还将为工程理事会未来的 EFRI 项目、网络物理系统、STC 和 NSF 的 ERC 项目提供有用的信息。希望本次研讨会的成果将弥合纳米技术和生物学研究领域之间的差距。预计本次研讨会将为纳米医学新兴领域（包括靶向药物输送和植入设备）奠定基础。更广泛的影响：全体会议发言人？演讲、受资助者的演讲、他们的海报会议和小组讨论的结果将被录像和记录。研讨会的成果和讨论将通过网络广泛传播。预计该研讨会将对物理科学、生物学和健康科学领域更广泛的研究人员和教育工作者产生长期影响。对于那些考虑进入健康和纳米医学微/纳米系统新的跨学科研究领域的人来说，它也将很有用。这也将鼓励为本科生和研究生开发新的跨学科课程和课程。
