The Nanomanufacturing (NM) program supports fundamental research to enable and improve the large-scale or customized manufacturing of nano-scale materials, structures, devices, and systems. The program is seeking proposals for research leading to new nanomanufacturing methods using batch or continuous processes, and top-down/bottom-up processes and their integration. Key focus areas include addressing manufacturability challenges such as scalability, customizability, sustainability, efficiency, controllability, and yield, including of integrated systems. The program is managed by the National Science Foundation and accepts individual and collaborative proposals, including proposals that involve collaborations between academic institutions and nanomanufacturing organizations.

Larger-scale, longer-duration unsolicited proposals that are not feasible through a series of smaller projects and are not achievable by a single principal investigator are also encouraged. The funding amounts and project durations are not explicitly stated, but the program typically awards grants ranging from $250,000 to $650,000 for project periods of 3-5 years. The place of performance is not specified, but the program is open to applicants across the United States.
