The deadline for nominations for the annual PI NanoInnovation grant is 30th April 2007.
PI (Physik Instrumente) is accepting nominations for its fourth annual NanoInnovation grant until the deadline on 30th April 2007.
Winners can select US $25,000 worth of cutting-edge nanopositioning products from PI's product lines.
The grant supports North American researchers developing innovative processes or products that benefit from nanopositioning devices; the programme reinforces PI's commitment to the scientific community.
PI was established by optical scientists 35 years ago and has worked closely with research ever since.
Today, PI is the world's leading manufacturer of nanopositioning components and systems for science and OEM applications.
The 2006 winner was Ashley R Carter, University of Colorado and National Institute of Standards and Technology for the submission "An ultrastable scanning probe microscope".
The NanoInnovation Grant Advisory Board evaluates each proposal.
It consists of three scientific advisors with leadership in their respective technology fields that use and advise the use of nanopositioning equipment and instruments for their research and development activities.
The Advisory Board consists of the following distinguished researchers: Dr Bharat Bhushan, Ohio State University; Dr Martin Culpepper, MIT; and Dr Erik Sanchez, Portland State University.
