facilities and no classrooms.
In addition, the new facility will in
clude space for collaboration between
University faculty and other ONAMI
partners, such as faculty from other
universities and staff from industry
and national laboratories, Hutchison
wrote in an e-mail.
Along with the new building, ONA
MI may get some new federal grants.
U.S. Senators Ron Wyden, D-Ore.
and Gordon Smith, R-Ore. announced
in a Sept. 29 statement that the Senate
Appropriations Committee approved
at least $109 million in funding for de
fense-related projects in Oregon.
This included $5 million for ONA
MI’s Nanoelectronics and Nanometrol
ogy Initiative, which develops materi
als and methods for producing future
generations of electronic devices and
circuits; $3.5 million for ONAMI’s
Safer Nanomaterials and Nanomanu
facturing program, which designs and
produces nanomaterials that are safe
for humans and the environment; and
$3 million for ONAMI’s development
of Miniature Tactical Energy Systems,
which are lightweight, portable cool
ing and energy-producing systems.
According to the statement, these
funds are now included in the 2006 fis
cal year Defense spending bill, and will
be sent to the U.S. Senate for approval.
“Oregon is a leader in using new
technologies like nanotech for the ben
efit of the U.S. defense community,”
Wyden said in the statement. “The
funds included in this legislation will
support many new and ongoing proj
ects to both enhance our national de
fense and boost Oregon’s economy.”
Hutchison said that the University is
participating in all three of those efforts
and is leading the Safer Nanomaterials
and Nanomanufacturing initiative.
“In addition to providing base fund
ing for these research efforts, federal
funding is helping to bring the ONAMI
faculty together in interdisciplinary
groups that are essential to being suc
cessful on the challenging projects we
are carrying out,” Hutchison wrote.
Hutchison said the final word on the
congressional funding will be deliv
ered in a month or two, adding that
ONAMI also pursues funding from fed
eral agencies and private foundations.
