National Nanotechnology Initiative NanoRegional Workshop

这项拨款为2009年4月1日至3日在俄克拉荷马城举行的国家纳米技术倡议区域倡议研讨会上的演讲者和小组成员的旅行提供资金。该研讨会将地区、州和地方纳米技术倡议的代表与美国政府、工业、贸易协会、非政府组织和学术界的代表聚集在一起，以促进这些团体之间以及与NNI之间的更多互动。研讨会的目标是改善美国组织和社区致力于推进纳米技术的纳米技术研究、教育和商业活动的成果。实现这一目标的战略是利用各种倡议之间的协同作用，促进信息和资源的共享，并制定有关互动的持续机制。与会者将编写一份讲习班的完整报告，并由国家国家研究所和国家非政府组织分发。因此，研讨会的重点和集体最佳实践建议将通过NNI和NSF的网站提供给科学界、商界、政府和非政府组织的整个纳米技术社区。财政资源和资助模式、监管问题和实践以及区域、州和地方倡议的技术重点领域的数据库将不断准备和更新。

This grant provides funding for travel of speakers and panelists at the National Nanotechnology Initiative Regional Initiatives Workshop in Oklahoma City April 1-3, 2009. The workshop brings representatives of regional, state, and local nanotechnology initiatives together with representatives of US Government, industry, trade associations, non-governmental organizations, and academia to stimulate increased interaction of these groups with one another and with the NNI. The goal of the workshop is to improve the outcomes of nanotechnology research, education, and business activities undertaken by U.S. organizations and communities working to advance nanotechnology. The strategy for reaching this goal is to exploit synergies between the various initiatives, promote sharing of information and resources, and develop ongoing mechanisms for relevant interactions. A full report of the workshop will be prepared by the participants and distributed by the NNI and NNCO. Thus the highlights of the workshop and the collective best practice recommendations will be made available to the whole nanotechnology community in science, business, government, and non-governmental organizations using the NNI and NSF websites. A database of the financial resources and funding models, regulatory issues and practices, and areas of technology focus of the regional, state, and local initiatives will be prepared and updated on an ongoing basis.
