CENTER OF EXCELLENCE FOR MATERIALS SCIENCE RESEARCH

材料科学研究英才中心(下称 称为中心)将是美国 牙科协会健康基金会(ADAHF)和美国国立牙科学会 标准与技术(NIST)。NIST，前身为美国国家安全局 标准(NBS)，是一个非监管的联邦科学和工程 实验室。该组织成立于1901年，拥有一个材料研究机构 该计划在全球范围内得到认可。该局开始研究 1919年牙科材料支持安全、高效和经济的使用 的材料，使消费者和执业牙科专业人员受益 并支持美国牙科材料公司的竞争地位 在国际市场上。 该中心拥有12,900平方英尺的分配空间，将位于 牙科和医疗材料集团的机构核心，即 材料科学与工程聚合物部部分 位于马里兰州盖瑟斯堡的NIST实验室。它的 建立将标志着进一步加强和融合 NIST之间的牙科修复材料合作研究 美国牙科协会(ADA)的历史可以追溯到1928年。 各种ADAHF/NIST研究项目的成本/效益分析，包括 复合材料、全景X光机和对角涡轮 手机，显示了非常令人印象深刻的研究投资回报。 NIST中心的位置提供了不可复制的优势 其他地方。作为世界首屈一指的科学和工程实验室，NIST 在校园里表现不佳 技术和支助服务、会议和研究设施以及 与材料科学家进行咨询和合作的机会 和工程师。NIST的国际声誉，与其 靠近国家的首都，国家 卫生研究所和几所主要大学，确保了持续的 客座科学家和来访者在材料研究方面的流动 项目。由于他们的存在而产生的信息交流进一步 刺激NIST研究的卓越表现。 ADAHF的Paffenbarger研究中心和NIST牙科和医学 材料集团吸引最优质的牙科材料研究人员 和声誉。这一事实，加上其他固有的优势， NIST的设施，应该可以确保在 在这份申请中提出了七个初步项目。

The Center of Excellence for Materials Science Research (hereinafter referred to as the Center) will be a collaborative unit of the American Dental Association Health Foundation (ADAHF) and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). NIST, formerly the National Bureau of Standards (NBS), is a nonregulatory federal science and engineering laboratory. Established in 1901, the organization has a materials research program recognized worldwide. The Bureau began conducting research on dental materials in 1919 to support the safe, efficient, and economical use of materials to benefit consumers and the practicing dental professional and to support the competitive position of U.S. dental materials companies in international markets. The Center, with 12,900 square feet of assigned space, will be at the institutional heart of the Dental and Medical Materials Group, which is part of the Polymers Division, Materials Science and Engineering Laboratory, at NIST in Gaithersburg, Maryland. Its establishment will mark a further strengthening and melding of the cooperative dental restorative materials research endeavor between the NIST and the American Dental Association (ADA) extending back to 1928. Cost/benefit analyses of various ADAHF/NIST research projects, including composites, the panoramic X-ray machine and the contraangle turbine handpiece, show very impressive returns for research investments. Location of the Center at NIST offers advantages that cannot be duplicated elsewhere. As the world's premier science and engineering laboratory, NIST has unexcelled on-campus technical and support services, meeting and research facilities, and opportunities for consulting and collaborating with materials scientists and engineers. The international reputation of NIST, combined with its proximity to the nation's capitol, the National Institutes of Health and several major universities, assures a continual flow of guest scientists and visitors working on materials research projects. The exchange of information engendered by their presence further stimulates NIST research excellence. The ADAHF's Paffenbarger Research Center and the NIST Dental and Medical Material.Group attracts dental materials researchers of the finest quality and reputation. This fact, combined with the other advantages inherent in NIST's facilities, should assure high quality of research conducted in the seven initial projects proposed in this application.
