NIFA Program Nanotechnology

Nanotechnology is the science of studying and producing materials and devices of nanometer size--about the size of a small molecule or individual atom. NIFA manages four grant programs that fund nanotechnology research projects. It also participates on the Nanoscale Science, Engineering, and Technology Subcommittee of the White House National Science and Technology Council and the National Nanotechnology Initiative.
