Seed Fund Program
With generous contributions from the Office of the Vice President for Research, the College of Arts and Sciences, the School of Engineering and Applied Science, and the School of Medicine, the nanoSTAR Institute has established a seed projects fund. This fund is to seed new interdisciplinary cross-school research projects in the three thrust areas of the institute: nanoelectronics, medicine, and energy and the environment. The primary goal of this fund is to promote collaboration and support new projects enabling the development of preliminary results for use in proposal submissionsto external sources.
