NSF awards Northeastern-led team $12.4M for nano center

Sept. 22, 2004 – The National Science Foundation has awarded $12.4 million to an academic-industrial group led by Northeastern University for the creation of a nanomanufacturing institute, according to a news release.

The five-year grant goes toward establishing the Center for High Rate Nanomanufacturing at the Boston University, and enables research focused on mass-production capabilities of such devices. The grant also strengthens a partnership between Northeastern and the University of Massachusetts Lowell, University of New Hampshire Durham, as well as several companies.

As the lead institution, Northeastern will receive $4.7 million, and much of the research associated with the project will be conducted at a nanomanufacturing facility under construction.
