ACTIVE AND NEW ATE AWARDS
FY1997

(excluding ATE-supported awards managed by other programs)

The following list includes new awards made during FY1997, as well as awards made during previous years but still active during FY1997. The list includes only awards managed by the ATE Program, not awards that have received a contribution from ATE but are managed by other programs. Award data have been compiled from the NSF main database.

The awards are arranged by the field of technology or science that is their primary focus; however, many of the projects embrace multiple fields or focus on general education in mathematics or science. ATE centers are denoted by an asterisk (*). The "Abstract Location" column gives the NSF publication number of the Awards and Activities book in which an award's abstract can be found.

Abstracts and other award data are also available through the NSF's World Wide Web site at <https://www.nsf.gov>.
