University of Arkansas - Center for Intergrative Nanotechnology Sciences

Thanks to visionaries in Arkansas government, UALR received approval to spend $5.9 million in Arkansas General Improvement funds to establish the Center for Integrative Nanotechnology Sciences. With the funding received in March of 2006, CINS has already filed several patent applications related to new nanotechnology breakthroughs and has purchased state-of-the-art instrumentation and equipment that catapults our research efforts to world class status. With CINS, Arkansas is well poised to take advantage of this exciting new world of economic opportunities and capitalize on nanotechnology breakthroughs discovered at UALR and other universities throughout the state. Sharing the brain power of academic and corporate partners throughout the State of Arkansas and its national and global network of partners and collaborators, the Nanotechnology Center is a state-of-the-art, user-oriented facility focused on research, education , and economic development.
