This Pan-American Advanced Studies Institutes (PASI) award, jointly supported by the NSF and the Department of Energy (DOE), will take place during June 2011 at the National Center for High Technology (CeNAT) in San Jose, Costa Rica. Organized by Dr. David Gracias of the John Hopkins University, the PASI will address research in scalable, functional nanomaterials with topics that range from self-assembly photonic and electronic materials to self-organizing DNA structures. The list of lecturers is extensive and harbors complementary research interests that will provide a broad overview of current efforts in nanomaterials science. Of clear relevance, careful thought has been given to what topics and materials can be translated into practice in countries that do not have extensive research budgets. Scientific research on nanoscale phenomena has enlivened virtually all science and engineering disciplines over the last twenty years. The intended impact of the PASI is to bring a younger generation of scientists into contact with exciting areas of modern nanoscience that fit within the budget and facilities constraints of many middle income countries. Lectures are complemented with demonstrations, informal discussions and posters on student research. Recruiting targets include graduate students, and post-docs from throughout the Americas (North, Central and South). Moreover, students will become acquainted with successful scientists from a broad range of institutions and a wide range of countries. In addition, the PASI is expected to generate new collaborations throughout the Americas. Results from the PASI will be disseminated through websites for educational purposes with links, updates and presentations.

泛美高级研究院(PASI)奖由美国国家科学基金会和能源部(DOE)联合支持，将于2011年6月在哥斯达黎加圣何塞的国家高科技中心(CENAT)举行。PASI由约翰·霍普金斯大学的David Gracias博士组织，将致力于可扩展的功能纳米材料的研究，主题从自组装光子和电子材料到自组织DNA结构。讲师名单广泛，并具有互补的研究兴趣，将提供对纳米材料科学当前努力的广泛概述。具有明显相关性的是，已经仔细考虑了哪些主题和材料可以在没有广泛研究预算的国家转化为实践。在过去的二十年里，对纳米现象的科学研究几乎活跃了所有的科学和工程学科。PASI的预期影响是让年轻一代的科学家接触到令人兴奋的现代纳米科学领域，这些领域符合许多中等收入国家的预算和设施限制。讲课辅以演示、非正式讨论和关于学生研究的海报。招聘对象包括来自整个美洲(北部、中部和南部)的研究生和博士后。此外，学生们将结识来自广泛机构和广泛国家的成功科学家。此外，预计PASI将在整个美洲产生新的合作。PASI的结果将通过带有链接、最新信息和演示文稿的教育网站传播。
