NS&T: initiate seed projects, seminar series, central website
- Initiate interdisciplinary graduate program in nanoscience and
technology
- Serve as a bridge between graduate research and undergraduate
laboratories
- Springboard for subsequent state support for infrastructure
and national support for research across COE and campus
