Nanotechnology research funding list now live at Sandia/LANL CINT website

Shortcut to funding sources now available

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — Nanotech researchers can shorten their search for funding by visiting the Center for Integrated Nanotechnologies (CINT) Internet site (www.sandia.gov/cint or www.lanl.gov/cint). There, a searchable database of federal government nanotechnology funding sources is supplied as a service to the nanoscience community by CINT, a joint project of Sandia and Los Alamos national laboratories supported by the U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Science.

The solicitation database currently lists 906 sources from federal agencies, along with solicitation numbers, amounts of funding available, dates within which to apply, numbers of current grantees, precise descriptions of program goals, and other relevant information. The listing is updated monthly.

“We hope this information will prove useful to our users and the nanotechnology community,” said Neal Shinn, the interim CINT User Program Manager. “Less time spent seeking funds means more available to do research.”

Recipients of this news note are invited to further publicize the CINT website as a service to their readers.

Sandia is a multiprogram laboratory operated by Sandia Corporation, a Lockheed Martin company, for the U.S. Department of Energy’s National Nuclear Security Administration. Sandia has major R&D responsibilities in national security, energy and environmental technologies, and economic competitiveness.

Los Alamos National Laboratory is operated by the University of California for the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) of the U.S. Department of Energy and works in partnership with NNSA's Sandia and Lawrence Livermore national laboratories to support NNSA in its mission.
