 JOINT
SCHOOL RECEIVES $3.5 MILLION FOR NANOENGINEERING RESEARCH
GREENSBORO, N.C. - Three North Carolina A&T State University
nanoengineering professors at the Joint School of Nanoscience
and Nanoengineering (JSNN) have been awarded research grants
totaling $3.5 million. “The Department of Nanoengineering is off
to a fast start in research,” said Dr. James Ryan, dean of the
JSNN. “Competing successfully for $3.5 million in research
funding in the department’s first year and a half of operation
is a tribute to both the quality of these researchers and the
value of their work.”... It is located in the Gateway University
Research Park, South Campus, in Greensboro.
The awards are: |
- ·
“Computational Modeling
and Enabling Technologies for Nano and Bio Systems and
Interfaces,” $1.2 million from the Army Research Office. Dr.
Ajit Kelkar, professor and chairman of the Department of
Nanoengineering, is the principal investigator.
-
“A Study of GaAsSb
(gallium arsenide antimonide) Nanowires by Molecular Beam
Epitaxy for Near Infrared Applications,” $563,497, from the
Army Research Office. Dr. Shanti Iyer, professor of
nanoengineering and electrical engineering, is the principal
investigator.
-
Nano to Continuum
Multi-Scale Modeling of Cementitious Materials under Dynamic
Loading,” $1.8 million from the Army Research Office. Dr.
Ram Mohan, associate professor of nanoengineering, is the
principal investigator
.

 dated
February 2007 signed by Interim A&T Chancellor Lloyd V. Hackley,
UNCG Patricia Sullivan, and John Merrill which stated Gateway
Support of the Universities (1.2.3) Acquire, managing and

(Draft UNCG), say:
Timeline
The General Assembly has appropriated $50 million in
non-recurring capital funding to construct
the JSNN building, $8 million in non-recurring equipment
funding, and $1.4 million in recurring
funding for operating costs. An additional $2.9 million
in recurring funding for operating costs
has been included in the 2008-09 budget priorities and
submitted to General Administration.
Requests to Plan the PhD and MS degrees in Nanoscience
have been reviewed and approved by
the Graduate Council of UNC. A Management Agreement,
which addresses mission and
organizing principles, governance, administration, the
dean and faculty, curriculum/degrees,
support services, contingencies, and
amendments/modifications has been written and
approved/signed by the NCA&T and UNCG Chancellors. The
search for a founding dean is
underway and being coordinated by a professional search
firm, and finalists has been identified
for campus interviews. It is anticipated that a founding
dean will be in place during the summer
of 2008.
Necessary Resources
 The
current level of recurring operating funding is
insufficient to support the personnel and programs
necessary to operate the JSNN. Increased appropriations
will be necessary over the next three years in order to
attain the original request for recurring operating
funding of $6.9 million. |

There is appropriated from the General Fund to the
Board of Governors of The University of North Carolina
the sum of two million dollars ($2,000,000) for the
2012-2013 fiscal year to be used by the Joint School of
Nanoscience and Nanoengineering on the campus of the

Agricultural and Technical State University to hire
permanent staff, adequately maintain its
equipment, and support operations. Beginning with the

shall become
part of the continuation budget. |

Whereas, in its first 18 months of operation, prior
to completion of its formal 11 facility, JSNN was
awarded over $4 million in research funding and
continues to work closely 12 with Gateway University
