2024-2025 CNF Research Reports Due Monday August 4th

Dear CNF Community,

It is time once again to plan for the Cornell NanoScale Facility Research Accomplishments (CNF RA).

As you may recall, one of the requirements of using the CNF for your research is the submission of an annual technical report. It is extremely important that we receive complete and interesting reports from all users and all projects.

The CNF RA is distributed to the National Science Foundation, industrial affiliates, visitors, potential users and sponsors. Therefore, it is our primary technical CNF publication.

This book is also a crucial method of conveying research highlights to NSF -- so the book must contain a comprehensive summary of our user discoveries, technologies, publications, and accomplishments.

By Monday, August 4th, we need a TWO PAGE TECHNICAL REPORT from each User (or small User Group working on the project). Please read and follow the detailed instructions [1] carefully

NNCI Webinar May 7: Behind the Curtain: What is happening in US Science & Technology Policy Today?

NNCI Societal and Ethical Implications Webinar

Wednesday, May 7, 2025 | 4 - 5 p.m. ET

Behind the Curtain: What is happening in US Science & Technology Policy Today?

Over the last few months, the US federal science and technology policy landscape has been shifting rapidly. The ways in which science and engineering are being used to inform policy and the ways in which the federal government shapes, supports, and directs science and engineering don’t look like they did just a few months ago. Join us for a webinar with Dr. Deborah Stine, who will share not only a lifetime of S&T Policy experience, but also her insights into the latest happenings in Washington, DC. The webinar will start with a discussion with Dr. Stine followed by a chance for questions from the audience.
