PLATINUM SPONSORS - $10,000 to $20,000
Our "U.S.- Japan Collaborative Research and Education in Terahertz Dynamics in Nanostructures" project is generously supported by a NSF-PIRE renewal grant (OISE 0968405) awarded to Prof. Junichiro Kono at Rice University and his co-investigators at our U.S. PIRE collaborating institutions. This is a continuation of funding received in our initial PIRE I award. A supplemental funding request for support for TeraNano III has recently been favorably reviewed and is pending award.
In Japan, our research and educational collaborations related to the study of Terhertz Dynamics in Nanostructures is generously supported by a Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS) Core-to-Core grant awarded to Prof. Masayoshi Tonouchi at Osaka University. Funding provided through the JSPS Core-to-Core Program will enable students and researchers from collaborating Japanese laboratories to participate in TeraNano III.
GOLD SPONSORS - $3,500 to $10,000
