This award provides support for the planning, organizing and managing of the annual 2021 NSF Nanoscale Science and Engineering (NSE) Grantees Conference to be held virtually on December 7 and 8, 2021. The NSE conference serves as a program review and research networking meeting that highlights ongoing research and educational activities in NSF’s nanotechnology science and engineering programs. The main theme of this conference is ‘nanomanufacturing’, which is an integral part of NSF’s Advanced Manufacturing program but also plays an important role in other NSF nanotechnology-related research programs such as ones that involve electronics, chemistry, physics, biology, environment, etc. The conference provides attendees, particularly women and under-represented minorities, with unique opportunities to network with and learn from other researchers. The conference provides a forum for interdisciplinary collaborations in diverse nanotechnology fields. It presents and discusses the role nanomanufacturing plays in OSTP priority areas and grand challenges, e.g., quantum information science, advanced manufacturing, artificial intelligence, advanced wireless, bioengineering. This award benefits the nation through the education and training of a skilled and diverse manufacturing workforce, which is better prepared to provide transformative solutions to the challenges in their chosen fields.The conference discusses two general topics in the context of nanomanufacturing: (1) Nanotechnology Foundations for Emerging Science and Technology and (2) Nanomanufacturing for Tomorrow. Each general topic is made up of several special topics. These are (a) Trends in Basic Research in Nanomanufacturing; (b) Nanomanufacturing for Quantum Systems; (c) Nanomanufacturing for Semiconductors and Advanced Wireless Systems; (d) Nanomanufacturing for Sustainability, Climate Change and Renewable Energy; (e) AI and Cyber Applications in Nanomanufacturing; (f) Bio-nanomanufacturing; (g) Synthetic Biology; (h) Nanomanufacturing in SBIR/STTR; (i) Resources for Nanomanufacturing, e.g., NNCI, NCN. Additional topics could involve a discussion on nano centers and nanotechnology education, and poster presentations by NSF principal investigators and other Federal Agencies. The conference discusses past achievements and accomplishments in manufacturing at the nanoscale, identify research gaps that are preventing novel ideas from moving forward, and determine opportunities for future research.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

该奖项为计划、组织和管理2021年NSF纳米科学与工程(NSE)年度受赠者会议提供支持，该会议将于2021年12月7日和8日举行。NSE会议是一次计划审查和研究网络会议，突出了NSF纳米技术、科学和工程计划中正在进行的研究和教育活动。本次会议的主题是“纳米制造”，这是美国国家科学基金会先进制造计划的组成部分，但在其他与美国国家科学基金会纳米技术相关的研究项目中也扮演着重要的角色，例如涉及电子、化学、物理、生物、环境等的研究项目。该会议为与会者，特别是女性和代表不足的少数族裔，提供了与其他研究人员交流和学习的独特机会。这次会议为不同纳米技术领域的跨学科合作提供了一个论坛。它介绍和讨论了纳米制造在OSTP优先领域和重大挑战中所发挥的作用，例如量子信息科学、先进制造、人工智能、先进无线和生物工程。该奖项通过对熟练和多样化的制造业劳动力的教育和培训使国家受益，他们更好地准备好为他们选择的领域的挑战提供变革性的解决方案。会议讨论了纳米制造背景下的两个一般主题：(1)新兴科学和技术的纳米技术基础和(2)未来的纳米制造。每个一般主题都由几个专题组成。这些是(A)纳米制造基础研究的趋势；(B)量子系统的纳米制造；(C)半导体和先进无线系统的纳米制造；(D)可持续发展、气候变化和可再生能源的纳米制造；(E)人工智能和网络在纳米制造中的应用；(F)生物纳米制造；(G)合成生物学；(H)SBIR/STTR中的纳米制造；(I)纳米制造的资源，例如NNCI、NCN。其他话题可能包括关于纳米中心和纳米技术教育的讨论，以及NSF主要调查人员和其他联邦机构的海报演示。会议讨论了过去在纳米级制造方面的成就和成就，确定了阻碍新想法向前发展的研究差距，并确定了未来研究的机会。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
