History

NSF Nanoscale Science and Engineering Center - Center for High-rate Nanomanufacturing

Awarded in 2004 and renewed in 2009, the CHN is one of only 14 NSEC's nationwide, and one of only four such centers that focus on nanomanufacturing.  The CHN focuses on template-directed assembly for high-rate, high-volume nanomanufacturing.  The CHN represents a unique center structure with three Universities -- the University of Massachusetts Lowell, Northeastern University, and the University of New Hampshire  forming an equal partnership.

UMass Lowell Nanomanufacturing Center of Excellence (NCOE)

The Nanomanufacturing Center of Excellence was formed as the first award for research as authorized under the 2004 Economic Stimulus Bill. The award was the John Adams Innovation Fund administered by the Massachusetts Technology Collaborative.
