Apply to PD 08-1788 as follows:
For full proposals submitted via FastLane:
standard Grant Proposal Guidelines apply.
For full proposals submitted via Grants.gov:
NSF Grants.gov Application Guide; A Guide for the Preparation and Submission of NSF Applications via Grants.gov Guidelines apply
(Note: The NSF Grants.gov Application Guide is available on the Grants.gov website and on the NSF website at:
http://www.nsf.gov/publications/pub_summ.jsp?ods_key=grantsgovguide)
Please be advised that the NSF Proposal & Award Policies & Procedures Guide (PAPPG) includes
revised guidelines to implement the mentoring provisions of the America COMPETES Act (ACA)
(Pub. L. No. 110-69, Aug. 9, 2007.) As specified in the ACA, each proposal that requests
funding to support postdoctoral researchers must include a description of the mentoring
activities that will be provided for such individuals. Proposals that do not comply
with this requirement will be returned without review (see the PAPP Guide Part I:
Grant Proposal Guide Chapter II for further information about the implementation of
this new requirement).

SYNOPSIS
![](https://webarchive.library.unt.edu/eot2008/20090507192100im_/http://nsf.gov/images/bluefade.jpg)
The NM program supports research and education on manufacturing at the nanoscale, and the transfer of research results in nanoscience and nanotechnology to industrial applications. The program emphasizes a systems approach to scale-up of nanotechnology for high rate production, reliability, robustness, yield and cost, and promotes integration of nanostructures to functional micro devices and meso/macroscale systems. Special emphases are on environmental, health, and societal aspects of nanotechnology and nanomanufacturing.
