Nanoscience and Nanotechnology in Biology and Medicine(R21)
Release Date: July 10, 2006
Announcement Number: PAR-06-475
Application Receipt Date:
August 18, 2006   

Funding Contact: Joseph Pancrazio, Ph.D.
Program Area: Repair and Plasticity

Brief Description:
Nanoscience and nanotechnology refer to research at the atomic, molecular or macromolecular levels, at the length scale of approximately 1 - 100 nanometers. The purpose of this initiative is to stimulate cross-cutting, integrative research in these fields of science and technology. In particular, this initiative invites research on: i) the creation and use of structures, devices and systems that have novel properties and functions because of their small size, that may be used to achieve a fundamental understanding of biological processes and /or contribute to disease detection, therapy, or prevention; ii) conception and fabrication of devices, that will effectively detect and analyze nanoscale entities of relevance to biomedicine; and iii) the study of biological systems at the nanoscale for the explicit purpose of using that information to develop nanotechnologies and nanostructured materials that will in turn benefit biology and medicine.
