Held annually since 2001, the National Science Foundation’s Nanoscale Science and Engineering (NSF-NSE) Grantees Conference is a two-day annual event that brings together educators, researchers, and experimentalists within nano science and engineering from academia, government, and industry to highlight information on the research and education activities funded by nanotechnology grants. The 2023 conference will be held in-person in Alexandria, Virginia, 7-8 December 2023, with a virtual attendance option, and will explore the timely topic of sustainable nanotechnology solutions to challenges in the life sciences and nanoscience applications in biotechnology. Specifically, it will raise awareness of this emerging global issue and consider visionary directions and breakthrough options for addressing this challenge. The conference will foster interactions among academic, government, and industry leaders across a diverse array of nanotechnology fields. Final versions of the conference materials, e.g., videotaped keynote, panel, and poster presentations, panel discussions, abstracts, and bios, will serve as conference proceedings. The global audience may access this material, following the event, at http://www.nseresearch.org/2023/, along with archival information from previous events. The discussions on grand challenges in and potential convergent solutions for nanotechnology in the life sciences will foster creative interdisciplinary dialogue and collaboration during the event. Additionally, the poster sessions provide opportunities for one-on-one interactions between presenters and participants. Finally, this event will identify and explore emerging trends in nanotechnology and biotechnology; societal, ethical, and economic implications; and accessible workforce training considerations. These collective perspectives will help to enable academic researchers, industry, government, and communities prepare for and proactively capitalize on targeted breakthrough solutions and systemic high-impact opportunities. This conference’s primary goals are to promote dissemination of innovative research progress in diverse nanotechnology fields, with a focus on Nanobiology, or nanoscale science and engineering of biological phenomena across different applications, to facilitate research partnerships, and to identify future research directions. The first day of the conference will emphasize “Nanobiotechnology and Nano biomanufacturing”and the second day will focus on “Nanobiomedicine, nano-neuroscience, and workforce development.” Keynote speakers, panel discussions, and poster sessions serve to promote inter-university and academic, industry, government, and national-laboratory interactions. These interactions represent a vital step toward the advancement of the goals of the National Science Foundation, US National Nanotechnology Initiative, and the 21st Century Nanotechnology Research and Development Act. To achieve these goals, the 2023 Nanoscale Science and Engineering Grantees conference will feature keynote and panel presentations, panel discussions, and posters that highlight visionary and strategic breakthrough opportunities in nanobiotechnology, nanobiomanufacturing, nanobiomedicine, and nanoneuroscience. Specific session topics include Quantum Biology and Quantum Sensing; Recent Breakthroughs in Synthetic Biology; Nanoscale phenomena in plants and agricultural systems, with applications on the bioeconomy; multi-scale and bioinspired assembly, i.e.. nano-bio architecture; cell-based and distributed biomanufacturing; Nanotechnology for regenerative medicine; bioprinting technologies; the future of nanomedicine in pandemics (and the role of targeted drug delivery); neurological processes at the nanoscale; and education and infrastructure for the nanobiology research community and (nano)bioeconomy.. Each keynote address, panel presentation, panel discussion, and poster session will serve as a training opportunity for all attendees, as the expert conference presenters will provide in-depth intra- and interdisciplinary insights across a broad array of nanotechnology fields. NSF-funded researchers and NSF Program Directors will moderate panel discussions. Additionally, the poster sessions will foster in-depth conversations with poster team representatives, as well as additional discussions of the Conference presentations. Questions addressed in the panels include: What innovations have arisen in these topics in the last decade? What are the critical gaps in advancing these areas? What are the opportunities for the future? This shared information provides a wealth of knowledge that can catalyze new collaborative and convergent research directions and opportunities. It also will enable an enhanced body of teaching nanobiology related materials at the K-12, undergraduate, and graduate levels. Following the event, the global audience may access final versions of the conference materials at http://www.nseresearch.org/2023/, along with archival information from previous events. The organizers will strive to ensure that conference related publications properly acknowledge NSF support.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.

自2001年以来每年举行一次，美国国家科学基金会的纳米科学与工程（NSF-NSE）受助人会议是一个为期两天的年度活动，汇集了来自学术界，政府和工业界的纳米科学与工程领域的教育工作者，研究人员和实验人员，以突出纳米技术赠款资助的研究和教育活动的信息。2023年会议将于2023年12月7日至8日在弗吉尼亚州亚历山大市举行，提供虚拟出席选项，并将探讨可持续纳米技术解决方案的及时主题，以应对生命科学和纳米科学在生物技术中的应用。具体而言，它将提高对这一新出现的全球问题的认识，并考虑应对这一挑战的有远见的方向和突破性选择。会议将促进学术界、政府和行业领导者在纳米技术领域的各种各样的互动。会议材料的最终版本，例如，录像的主题演讲、小组讨论、海报展示、小组讨论、摘要和简介将作为会议记录。全球受众可在活动结束后访问http：//www.nseresearch.org/2023/，沿着以往活动的档案资料。关于生命科学中纳米技术的重大挑战和潜在的融合解决方案的讨论将在活动期间促进创造性的跨学科对话和合作。此外，海报会议为演讲者和参与者之间的一对一互动提供了机会。最后，本次活动将确定和探索纳米技术和生物技术的新兴趋势;社会，道德和经济影响;以及可访问的劳动力培训考虑因素。这些集体观点将有助于学术研究人员、行业、政府和社区做好准备，并积极利用有针对性的突破性解决方案和系统性的高影响力机会。 本次会议的主要目标是促进不同纳米技术领域的创新研究进展的传播，重点是纳米生物学，或跨不同应用的生物现象的纳米科学和工程，以促进研究伙伴关系，并确定未来的研究方向。会议的第一天将强调“纳米生物技术和纳米生物制造”，第二天将重点关注“纳米生物医学，纳米神经科学和劳动力发展”。主题演讲，小组讨论和海报会议有助于促进大学间和学术界，工业界，政府和国家实验室的互动。这些相互作用代表了国家科学基金会，美国国家纳米技术倡议和21世纪纳米技术研究与发展法案的目标的进步的重要一步。为了实现这些目标，2023年纳米科学与工程资助者会议将以主题演讲和小组演讲，小组讨论和海报为特色，突出了纳米生物技术，纳米生物制造，纳米生物医学和纳米神经科学的有远见和战略突破机会。具体会议主题包括量子生物学和量子传感;合成生物学的最新突破;植物和农业系统中的纳米现象，以及生物经济的应用;多尺度和生物启发组装，即。纳米生物结构;基于细胞和分布式生物制造;再生医学纳米技术;生物打印技术;纳米医学在流行病中的未来（以及靶向药物输送的作用）;纳米级的神经过程;以及纳米生物学研究社区和（纳米）生物经济的教育和基础设施。每个主题演讲，小组演讲，小组讨论和海报会议将作为所有与会者的培训机会，因为专家会议主持人将提供深入的跨纳米技术领域的内部和跨学科见解。NSF资助的研究人员和NSF项目主任将主持小组讨论。此外，海报会议将促进与海报团队代表的深入对话，以及对会议演示文稿的额外讨论。小组讨论的问题包括：在过去十年中，这些主题出现了哪些创新？在推进这些领域方面存在哪些关键差距？未来的机遇是什么？这种共享信息提供了丰富的知识，可以催化新的协作和融合的研究方向和机会。它还将使教学纳米生物学相关材料在K-12，本科和研究生水平的增强机构。活动结束后，全球观众可在http：//www.nseresearch.org/2023/上查阅会议材料的最终版本，沿着以往活动的档案资料。组织者将努力确保与会议相关的出版物适当地承认NSF的支持。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
