This award provides funding to the University of Southern California (USC) for the support of a Workshop to Explore a Partnership for Nanotechnology Education, under the direction of Dr. James Murday of USC and Dr. Aldrin Sweeney, University of Central Florida (UCF) who are serving as co-chairs of the organizing committee. The workshop will be held April 26-28, 2009 at the Davidson Conference Center, on the campus of USC. The intent of this proposed workshop is to involve representatives from the various stakeholder communities, including K-12 teachers, community colleges, universities, continuing education, various professional communities, industry, foundations, state/local education authorities, and pertinent Federal agencies. The workshop participants will be exposed to the present status of nanoscale education. They will be charged with identifying opportunities/challenges associated with: a) the infrastructure needed to develop effective "nano" education; b) a functional stakeholder partnership(s) that addresses needs/opportunities, and c) mechanisms for that partnership(s) to provide information fo the state/local authorities, industrial leaders, and foundations to use in developing goals, strategies and programs toward effective nano education. A workshop report will be prepared to transmit the workshop recommendation and it will also be published in a refereed journal to ensure the broadest dispersion.This workshop is being co-funded by the NSF Directorate for Engineering, Directorate for Mathematics and Physical Sciences and the Directorate for Education and Human Resources.

该奖项向南加州大学(USC)资助了一个探索纳米技术教育合作伙伴关系的研讨会，该研讨会由南加州大学的James Murday博士和中佛罗里达大学(UCF)的Aldrin Sweeney博士指导，他们是组织委员会的联合主席。研讨会将于2009年4月26日至28日在南加州大学校园的戴维森会议中心举行。这个拟议的研讨会的目的是让来自不同利益攸关方社区的代表参加，包括K-12教师、社区学院、大学、继续教育、各种专业社区、行业、基金会、州/地方教育当局和相关的联邦机构。研讨会的参与者将接触到纳米级教育的现状。他们将负责确定与以下相关的机遇/挑战：a)发展有效的“纳米”教育所需的基础设施；b)满足需求/机会的实用利益相关者伙伴关系(S)；以及c)该伙伴关系的机制(S)，为州/地方当局、行业领袖和基金会提供信息，以用于制定有效的纳米教育目标、战略和计划。将准备一份研讨会报告来传达研讨会的建议，并将在一份经推荐的期刊上发表，以确保最广泛的传播。这次研讨会由国家科学基金会工程局、数学和自然科学局以及教育和人力资源局共同资助。
