2021 NSF Nanoscale Science and Engineering (NSE) Grantees Conference - NNI Retrospective

该奖项为2021年NSF纳米科学与工程(NSE)年度受赠者大会提供补充支持。该项目包括制作一部回顾视频纪录片，记录过去20年来国家纳米技术倡议(NNI)的起源、历史、成就和影响，以及在相关的NSF赞助的年度纳米科学与工程(NSE)受赠者会议上介绍和讨论的纳米技术的进展。这部纪录片暂定名为《创建国家倡议：20年的国家纳米技术倡议》。制作目标是制作一段短视频，分发给一系列观众、纳米技术行业媒体、社交媒体和各级教育机构。学生、年轻教师、女性、未被充分代表的少数族裔学生和普通公众将通过这段视频从纳米技术和纳米制造的成就和影响的传播中受益。一年一度的NSE受赠者会议是一个计划审查和研究网络活动，突出了NSF各种纳米技术科学和工程计划中正在进行的研究和教育活动。这次会议的主题是“纳米制造”。确定了自NNI成立以来需要创造媒体来传播纳米技术和纳米制造的成就和影响。为了满足这一需求，将专业制作一部纪录片。这段视频将重点介绍NNI是如何创建的，以及它为什么成功。它还将介绍NNI自2000年1月成立以来的演变、挑战和成果。它将包括对纳米技术和纳米制造领域的选定贡献者、专家和思想领袖的采访。这是一个独特的机会，可以突出NNI和相关的NSF纳米受赠者会议20年来的成就。对NNI模型的这种理解可用于在新兴和融合技术方面建立国家倡议，如QIS、先进半导体、现代生物学、人工智能、先进无线和先进制造。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。

This award provides supplemental support for the annual 2021 NSF Nanoscale Science and Engineering (NSE) Grantees Conference. The project involves the production of a retrospective video documentary chronicling the inception, history, achievements and impacts of the National Nanotechnology Initiative (NNI) over the last 20 years as well as the progress of nanotechnology presented and discussed at the associated annual NSF-sponsored Nano-scale Science and Engineering (NSE) Grantees Conference. The documentary is tentatively titled "Creating a National Initiative: National Nanotechnology Initiative at 20 years." The production goal is to create a short video for distribution to a range of audiences, nanotechnology trade press, social media outlets, and educational institutions at all levels. Students, young faculty, women and under-represented minority students and the general public will benefit from the dissemination of nanotechnology and nanomanufacturing achievements and impacts through this video.The annual NSE grantees conference serves as a program review and research networking event that highlights ongoing research and educational activities in various NSF nanotechnology science and engineering programs. The main theme of this conference is ‘nanomanufacturing’. A need for creating media to disseminate nanotechnology and nanomanufacturing achievements and impacts since the inception of the NNI was identified. To meet this need, a documentary video will be professionally created. The video will highlight how the NNI was created and why it was successful. It will also present the evolution, challenges and results of the NNI since its inception in January 2000. It will include interviews with selected contributors, experts and thought leaders in nanotechnology and nanomanufacturing. This is a unique opportunity to highlight achievements of 20 years of the NNI and associated NSF Nano Grantees Conference series. This understanding of the NNI model could be used to establish national initiatives in emerging and converging technologies such as QIS, advanced semiconductors, modern biology, AI, advanced wireless, and advanced manufacturing.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.
