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 awardees will have the opportunity to gain proficiency in cleanroom and tool methodology and access the consultation services provided by research staff members of the IEN.\u0026nbsp; Seed Grant awardees are also provided travel support to present their research at a scientific conference.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EIn addition to student research skill development, this bi-annual grant program gives faculty with novel research topics the ability to develop preliminary data to pursue follow-up funding sources. The Facility Seed Grant program is supported by the Southeastern Nanotechnology Infrastructure Corridor (SENIC), a member of the National Science Foundation\u0026rsquo;s National Nanotechnology Coordinated Infrastructure (NNCI).\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003ESince the start of the grant program in 2014, \u0026nbsp;sixty-eight projects \u0026nbsp;from ten different schools in Georgia Tech\u0026rsquo;s Colleges of Engineering and Science, as well as the Georgia Tech Research Institute and 3 other universities, have been seeded.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EThe 3 winning projects in this round were awarded IEN cleanroom and lab access time to be used over the next year. In keeping with the interdisciplinary mission of IEN, the projects that will be enabled by the grants include research in biodevice development, new methodologies for tissue imaging, and design of water filtration membranes.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EThe Spring 2021 IEN Facility Seed Grant Award winners are:\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cem\u003EDevelopment of Lab-on-a-Chip Platform to Study the Extracellular Electron Transfer Processes\u003C\/em\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\nStudent: Mourin Jarin | PI: Xing Xie\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\nSchool of Civil and Environmental Engineering\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cem\u003ECorrelative 3D Metabolic and Structural In Situ Imaging of Human Tissues\u003C\/em\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\nStudent: Thomas Hu (ECE) | PI: Ahmet Coskun\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\nWallace H.
