Abstract:
The Nano/Bio Interface Center (NBIC) announces a call for proposals for the Innovation Award Program for awards beginning September 2007. The Innovation Award Program facilitates new research in areas of interest to the mission of the Center. The goals of the program are two-fold:

• to explore research directions that shape the evolution of NBIC core research, and

• to expand the Nano/Bio Interface research across the campus.

Typical grants are $30k-$50k for a 12-month period.

To apply for an Innovation Award submit an electronic version of a proposal to the NBIC via Natasha Charles ( ) by February 7, 2007. Forms for proposal submission can be found on the web at:
