THE TRANSDUCER RESEARCH FOUNDATION (TRF) is a non-profit organization whose purpose is to stimulate research in science and engineering, with emphasis on technologies related to transducers, microsystems, and nanosystems, and to foster the exchange of ideas and information. These objectives will be pursued through a variety of activities and initiatives, including but not limited to the following:

1. Sponsoring and organizing regional, national, and international conferences, meetings, workshops, and short courses in transducers, microsystems, and nanotechnology. All proceeds raised during the sponsored events go back into TRF funds to support future initiatives.
2. Raising and administering the distribution of funds with the purpose of enhancing and encouraging advances in the fields of transducers, microsystems, and nanotechnology.
3. Fostering liaison between academic, industry, and government organizations to enhance cooperation and collaboration.
4. Providing mentoring and continuous education to students and young professionals within the technical community served by TRF.
5. Supporting research in the fields of microfabricated sensors, actuators, mechanical components, microsystems, and nanosystems and the basic technologies that advance these fields through scholarships, seed grants, grants for student travel to conferences, and other means.

TRF welcomes inquiries from groups who wish to apply for TRF sponsorship of proposed topical Workshops and Conferences that are consistent with the TRF mission. If your organization would like to explore any of these options for TRF sponsorship or student travel grants, please contact a TRF Officer/Director, or by contacting us at info@transducer-research-foundation.org for further information.
