Scientific Assessment of Self-Assembling and Biomolecular Materials

这个项目是为国家研究理事会的自我研究， 组装和生物分子材料。 该项目将共同- 由NSF、DOE和ARO资助。 在NSF内部，该项目将 由材料研究部，化学部共同资助， 系和分子生物学系。 一个 跨学科小组，包括物理学家，化学家，生物学家 工程师们将提供一个更清晰的定义; 确定科学和技术机会; 短期和长期研究目标;对这些目标的评估 在国家需要和更广泛问题的背景下， 教育、跨学科研究、机构合作、 以及对联邦机构的建议 有兴趣支持这一领域的最佳战略， 实现这些目标。

This project is for a National Research Council study of Self- Assembly and Biomolecular Materials. The project will be co- funded by the NSF, DOE, and ARO. Within NSF, the project will be co-funded by the Division of Materials Research, the Chemistry Division and the Division of Molecular Biology. An interdisciplinary group, including physicists, chemists, biologists and engineers will provide a clearer definition of the field; an identification of scientific and technological opportunities; short-term and long-range research goals; an evaluation of these goals in the context of national needs and broader issues, such as education, interdisciplinary research, institutional cooperation, and international efforts; and recommendations to federal agencies with an interest in supporting this field on optimum strategies for achieving these goals.
