This proposal was submitted as an EAGER grant; it seeks funding for a US-Turkey Collaborative research initiative. The application entitled, "EAGER: US-Turkey Collaboration on Energy Harvesting for Sustainable and Energy Efficient Buildings of the Future," was submitted by Brian A Korgel and Heath Naquin from the University of Texas at Austin. The goal of this collaborative project is to establish a long-term collaboration between researchers at UT Austin and Middle East Technical University (METU) in the area of energy-efficient, sustainable buildings. The research will explore new semiconductor nanomaterials (both silicon-based and alternatives to CIGS), which are suitable for spray-on solar paint applications, and the combination between concentrated solar power and geothermal energy. New knowledge will be created from these studies that will lead to future buildings that are sustainable and energy efficient. The project will bridge the NSF-funded Industry/University Cooperative Research Center (IUCRC) on Next Generation Photovoltaics with the Turkish government-funded Center for Solar Energy Research and Applications (GÜNAM) at METU. These centers have significant involvement with industrial partners to establish a research infrastructure that can rapidly transfer new technologies to the commercial sector for the promotion of joint economic development in both the US and Turkey. This research project also focuses on student education and training and providing an element of international collaboration which is important for training the next generation of technology innovators.

该提案作为 EAGER 赠款提交；它为美国-土耳其合作研究计划寻求资金。该申请题为“EAGER：美国-土耳其未来可持续和节能建筑的能源收集合作”，由布莱恩提交。来自德克萨斯大学奥斯汀分校的 A Korgel 和 Heath Naquin 该合作项目的目标是在 UT 奥斯汀分校和中东技术大学 (METU) 的研究人员之间建立长期合作关系。该研究将探索适合喷涂太阳能涂料应用的新型半导体纳米材料（硅基材料和 CIGS 替代品），以及集中太阳能和地热能的结合。这些研究将创造出可持续且节能的未来建筑。该项目将在 NSF 资助的下一代光伏产业/大学合作研究中心 (IUCRC) 与土耳其政府资助的太阳能研究中心之间建立桥梁。及应用METU 的 GÜNAM（GÜNAM）。这些中心与工业合作伙伴密切合作，建立了一个研究基础设施，可以将新技术快速转移到商业部门，以促进美国和土耳其的共同经济发展。该研究项目也以学生为重点。教育和培训并提供国际合作要素，这对于培训下一代技术创新者非常重要。
