The primary purpose of this program is to give first or second year graduate students in diverse disciplines working on original and un-funded research in micro- and nano-scale projects the opportunity to access the most advanced academic cleanroom space in the Southeast. In addition to accessing the high-level fabrication, lithography, and characterization tools in the labs, the students will have the opportunity to gain proficiency in cleanroom and tool methodology and to use the consultation services provided by research staff members of the IEN.\u0026nbsp; In addition, the Seed Grant program gives faculty with novel research topics the ability to develop preliminary data in order to pursue follow-up funding sources. This program is supported by the Southeastern Nanotechnology Infrastructure Corridor (SENIC), a member of the National Nanotechnology Coordinated Infrastructure (NNCI), which is funded by the NSF (Grant ECCS-1542174).\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EOver the course of six years, this grant program has seeded fifty-six projects with sixty students working in ten different schools in COE and COS, as well as the Georgia Tech Research Institute and 3 other universities.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EThe 6 winning projects in this round, from a diverse group of science and engineering disciplines, were awarded a six-month block of IEN cleanroom and lab access time. In keeping with the interdisciplinary mission of IEN, the projects that will be enabled by the grants include research in biomedicine, quantum computing, materials, and MEMS.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EThe Spring 2019 IEN Facility Seed Grant Award winners are:\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cem\u003EMicrofabrication of Lab-on-Chip Devices for Rapid
