The Center for Nanophase Materials Sciences (CNMS) at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) is soliciting proposals for user-initiated nanoscience research that will make effective use of CNMS facilities and staff expertise. The CNMS nanoscience research program provides users with access to a broad range of capabilities for nanomaterials design, synthesis, characterization, and theory/modeling/simulation in order to carry out studies that will significantly advance our understanding of nanoscale phenomena and develop functional nanomaterials systems. Access is provided at no cost to users for research that is in the public domain and intended for publication in the open literature.
Scientifically high-impact proposals are sought that take advantage of any of the CNMS research capabilities. In particular, prospective users are encouraged to submit proposals that utilize and exploit synergies of research capabilities in multiple areas, and proposers of experimental nanoscience research are encouraged to request theory/modeling/simulation collaborations as appropriate.
