The National Nanotechnology Infrastructure Network ( NNIN ) is an integrated partnership of thirteen user facilities, supported by NSF, providing unparalleled opportunities for nanoscience and nanotechnology research.

The network  provides extensive support in nanoscale fabrication, synthesis, characterization, modeling, design, computation and hands-on training. in an open, hands-on environment, available to all qualified users.

The members of NNIN include the following major nanotechnology user facilities:

• The Cornell Nanoscale Facility at Cornell University
• The Stanford Nanofabrication Facility at Stanford University
• The Solid State Electronics Laboratory at the University of Michigan
• The Microelectronics Research Center at the Georgia Institute of Technology
• The Center for Nanotechnology at the University of Washington
• The Penn State Nanofabrication Facility at the Pennsylvania State University
• Nanotech at the University of California at Santa Barbara
• The Minnesota Nanotechnology Cluster (MINTEC)  at the University of Minnesota
• The Nanoscience at the University of New Mexico
• The Microelectronics Research Center at University of Texas at Austin
• The Center for Imaging and Mesoscale Structures at Harvard University
• The Howard Nanoscale Science and Engineering Facility at Howard University

NNIN will build upon the base of activities and user support provided by the former National Nanofabrication Users Network, expanding to broadly support research and technology development in all areas of nanoscience.
