NSF Funding Helps Nanobiotech Center.(Government Activity)(Brief Article)
An agreement by the National Science Foundation (NSF) to fund a Cornell University-based consortium of institutions will help to establish the new Nanobiotechnology Center (NBTC) in Ithaca, New York. The authorization of the award to Cornell, Princeton, and Oregon Health Sciences Universities, and to Wadsworth Center of the New York State Department of Health will be coupled by support from New York State, private industry, foundations, and Cornell University itself.
The NBTC was one of five new national science and technology centers to receive a total of close to $94 million, approved by the National Science Board in 1999. Program guidelines allow for financial commitments of up to $20 million each, but final awards are subject to negotiations between NSF and the lead institutions. The Cornell-based consortium asked for $19 million.
"Nanobiotechnology has the potential to breath the life force of biological molecules into the silicon of electronic-integrated circuits while putting the ultra-small techniques of microfabrication to work in the study and manipulation of biological systems," explains NBTC Director Harold G. Craighead, a Cornell professor of applied and engineering physics. "Nanobiotechnology is the emerging area of scientific and technological opportunity that will meld nanofabrication and biosystems to the benefit of both," he adds.
In recognition of the importance of the NBTC to the state of New York, Governor George E. Pataki has committed up to $300,000 per year in matching funds to help foster interactions with industry and for workforce education. "New York's institutions ...
