Established in July of 2008, The Nanotechnology Research Foundation (NRF) is a volunteer based 501c3 non-profit organization focused on supporting the acceleration of nanotechnology awareness, education, recognition, funding, research and American innovation. We are a catalyst serving as the hub for the advancement of nanotechnologies. Our stakeholders include business and financial leaders as well as academic and research institutes from the private sector, in addition to government and other non-profit organizations with a common agenda. The NRF is advocating for increased private and government funding for advanced education and research to preserve American jobs in the ever increasing global competition for high-tech dominance.
