This award is to establish a Network for Computational Nanotechnology (NCN) at Purdue University with three-fold mission: (1) to catalyze the formation of teams of theorists, computational scientists, and experimentalists in research that addresses key challenges in realizing integrated nanosystems; (2) to support the research and the broader National Nanotechnology Initiative with an infrastructure that provides ready access to high-perfomence computing and visualization, facilities collaboration, delivers simulation services, and enables solutions to large, multi-scale problems by assembling standard, open-source components tht are available to the entire community; and (3) to develop educational packages that can be incorporated into the curricula to train students, scientists, and engineers. The NCN will initially address three research themes: (1) nanoelectronics, (2) naoelctromechanics, and (3) nsnobioelectronics. The University of Illinois, Urbana/Champaign, Stanford University, Northwestern University, and University of Florida will be initial participants. The core research topics and participants will evolve while preserving relevance and leadership in the rapidly developing field of nanoscience. A number of special projects will be undertaken designed to address the need for a second-generation network computing platform. This award is for an initial period of five years, subject to renewal for another five years.

该奖项旨在在普渡大学建立一个计算纳米技术网络（NCN），具有三重使命：（1）促进理论家、计算科学家和实验家团队的形成，解决实现集成纳米系统的关键挑战； (2) 通过基础设施支持研究和更广泛的国家纳米技术计划，该基础设施提供高性能计算和可视化、设施协作、提供模拟服务，并通过组装可供整个社区使用的标准开源组件来实现大型、多尺度问题的解决方案； (3) 开发可纳入课程的教育包，以培训学生、科学家和工程师。 NCN 最初将讨论三个研究主题：(1) 纳米电子学、(2) 纳米电子力学和 (3) 纳米生物电子学。伊利诺伊大学厄巴纳/香槟分校、斯坦福大学、西北大学和佛罗里达大学将是首批参与者。核心研究主题和参与者将不断发展，同时保持快速发展的纳米科学领域的相关性和领导地位。 将开展一些特殊项目，旨在满足第二代网络计算平台的需求。 该奖项的初始期限为五年，可再续展五年。
