The National Nanofabrication Facility (NNF) at Cornell University is an interdisciplinary center, the primary role of which is to provide resources and technical expertise to researchers in microstructures science, particularly in the areas of advanced lithographies, nanostructure physics, scanning tunneling microscopy for fabrication and analysis, optoelectronic and electronic applications, microfabrication applications to biology, and related areas. The NNF REU site is a program of discrete projects for undergraduates, conducted over a ten week period under the supervision of academic mentors at Cornell whose research is associated with the Facility. In some cases, NNF facilities are used for only a small, but crucial, part of the fabrication or experimentation. In all cases, the attraction of NNF is the quality and open access to resources, and the ability to accomplish complex or unusual microfabrication in a routine way. The REU program takes particular advantage of ongoing NNF educational activities as well as interaction with other REU programs campus- wide. Several events are planned to encourage interaction with other REU students on campus, and some NNF participants will work in teams or collaboratively with students in other programs. All students are required to prepare a brief final report and to present their results at a concluding Forum of their peers and mentors.

位于康奈尔大学的国家纳米加工设施是一个跨学科中心，其主要作用是为微结构科学的研究人员提供资源和技术专业知识，特别是在先进光刻、纳米结构物理、用于制造和分析的扫描隧道显微镜、光电子和电子应用、生物微制造应用以及相关领域。NNFREU网站是一个针对本科生的独立项目计划，在康奈尔大学学术导师的监督下进行，为期十周，这些导师的研究与该设施有关。在某些情况下，NNF设备只用于制造或实验的一小部分，但却是至关重要的一部分。在所有情况下，NNF的吸引力在于资源的质量和开放获取，以及以常规方式完成复杂或不寻常的微制造的能力。REU计划特别利用正在进行的NNF教育活动以及与校园范围内的其他REU计划的互动。计划举办一些活动，鼓励在校园内与REU的其他学生互动，一些NNF参与者将与其他项目中的学生进行团队合作或合作。所有学生都被要求准备一份简短的期末报告，并在他们的同伴和导师的总结论坛上展示他们的结果。
