This award provides support for the planning, organizing and managing of the annual 2021 NSF Nanoscale Science and Engineering (NSE) Grantees Conference to be held virtually on December 7 and 8, 2021. The NSE conference serves as a program review and research networking meeting that highlights ongoing research and educational activities in NSF’s nanotechnology science and engineering programs. The main theme of this conference is ‘nanomanufacturing’, which is an integral part of NSF’s Advanced Manufacturing program but also plays an important role in other NSF nanotechnology-related research programs such as ones that involve electronics, chemistry, physics, biology, environment, etc. The conference provides attendees, particularly women and under-represented minorities, with unique opportunities to network with and learn from other researchers. The conference provides a forum for interdisciplinary collaborations in diverse nanotechnology fields. It presents and discusses the role nanomanufacturing plays in OSTP priority areas and grand challenges, e.g., quantum information science, advanced manufacturing, artificial intelligence, advanced wireless, bioengineering. This award benefits the nation through the education and training of a skilled and diverse manufacturing workforce, which is better prepared to provide transformative solutions to the challenges in their chosen fields.The conference discusses two general topics in the context of nanomanufacturing: (1) Nanotechnology Foundations for Emerging Science and Technology and (2) Nanomanufacturing for Tomorrow. Each general topic is made up of several special topics. These are (a) Trends in Basic Research in Nanomanufacturing; (b) Nanomanufacturing for Quantum Systems; (c) Nanomanufacturing for Semiconductors and Advanced Wireless Systems; (d) Nanomanufacturing for Sustainability, Climate Change and Renewable Energy; (e) AI and Cyber Applications in Nanomanufacturing; (f) Bio-nanomanufacturing; (g) Synthetic Biology; (h) Nanomanufacturing in SBIR/STTR; (i) Resources for Nanomanufacturing, e.g., NNCI, NCN. Additional topics could involve a discussion on nano centers and nanotechnology education, and poster presentations by NSF principal investigators and other Federal Agencies. The conference discusses past achievements and accomplishments in manufacturing at the nanoscale, identify research gaps that are preventing novel ideas from moving forward, and determine opportunities for future research.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

该奖项为 2021 年年度 NSF 纳米科学与工程 (NSE) 受资助人会议的规划、组织和管理提供支持，该会议将于 2021 年 12 月 7 日至 8 日以虚拟方式举行。NSE 会议作为项目审查和研究网络会议，重点介绍了 NSF 纳米技术科学与工程项目中正在进行的研究和教育活动 本次会议的主题是“纳米制造”，它是 NSF 先进制造项目的组成部分，但也发挥着重要作用。参加其他 NSF 纳米技术相关的研究项目，例如涉及电子、化学、物理、生物学、环境等的项目。会议为与会者，特别是女性和代表性不足的少数族裔，提供了与其他研究人员建立联系并向其学习的独特机会。该会议为不同纳米技术领域的跨学科合作提供了一个论坛，介绍并讨论了纳米制造在 OSTP 优先领域和重大挑战中的作用，例如量子信息科学、先进制造、人工智能、先进无线、生物工程。通过教育和培训熟练且多样化的制造劳动力，他们可以更好地准备为所选择领域的挑战提供变革性解决方案。会议讨论了纳米制造背景下的两个一般性主题：（1）新兴科学的纳米技术基础和技术；(2) 未来的纳米制造。 (c) 半导体和先进无线系统的纳米制造； (d) 可持续发展、气候变化和可再生能源的纳米制造； (e) 纳米制造中的人工智能和网络应用； (g) 合成生物学； h) SBIR/STTR 中的纳米制造； (i) 纳米制造资源，例如 NNCI、NCN 可能涉及其他主题。会议讨论了纳米中心和纳米技术教育，以及国家科学基金会主要研究人员和其他联邦机构的海报展示，讨论了纳米级制造方面过去的成就和成就，确定了阻碍新想法前进的研究差距，并确定了机会。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
