In July of 2006, The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Physical Measurement Laboratory (PML), formerly the Center for Nanoscale Science and Technology (CNST), awarded the University of Maryland a $1.5M Nanotechnology grant that supports a cooperative agreement to broaden collaborations in research efforts in development and manufacturing at the nano scale.
In order to use the NIST-PML facilities, you must first discuss your project with the NanoFab Manager ( nanofabuseroffice@nist.gov).
