CBET - 1138917 Chamot The 21st Century Nanotechnology Research and Development Act, Public Law 108-153, requires triennial reviews of the National Nanotechnology Initiative (NNI). The director of the National Nanotechnology Coordination Office (NNCO) which serves as the secretariat for the NNI has requested the next triennial review to be done by the National Academy of Sciences. This proposal is directed toward fulfilling the NNI review requirement.For the current study, the NNCO is particularly interested in examining the role of the NNI inmaximizing opportunities to transfer selected technologies to the private sector (e.g., in electronics; structural materials; coatings); suggesting appropriate metrics for determining progress towards NNI goals; and review of NNI's management and coordination of nanotechnology research across both civilian and military federal agencies. Intellectual meritThis project involves review of a federal program for coordinating government efforts in supporting nanotechnology R&D, as requested by the US Congress and the NNCO. It is not a study of nanotechnologies, per se. The study committee will examine the NNI management approach, the effectiveness of efforts to transfer selected technologies to the private sector, the goals of the program and how to assess progress towards those goals. Specific tasks include:A. Examine the role of the NNI in maximizing opportunities to transfer selected technologies to the private sector, provide an assessment of how well the NNI is carrying out this role, and suggest new mechanisms to foster transfer of technologies and improvements to NNI operations in this area where warranted.B. Assess the suitability of current procedures and criteria for determining progress towards NNI goals, suggest definitions of success and associated metrics, and provide advice on those organizations (government or non-government) that could perform evaluations of progress.C. Review NNI?s management and coordination of nanotechnology research across both civilian and military federal agencies.Broader impactsThe results of this review would be of value to the Congress and participating federal agencies in planning future support for NNI projects. In addition, as a major goal of the program is to develop technologies that would be transferable to the industrial sector and thus contribute to US competitiveness, the report would also be of interest to various industrial concerns and their academic colleagues who would translate the fundamental research into industrial applications.

CBET - 1138917 Chamot 21世纪世纪纳米技术研究和发展法案，公法108-153，要求国家纳米技术倡议（NNI）的三年期审查。 作为NNI秘书处的国家纳米技术协调办公室（NNCO）主任要求由国家科学院进行下一次三年期审查。该提案旨在满足NNI的审查要求。对于当前的研究，NNCO特别感兴趣的是检查NNI在最大限度地增加向私营部门转让选定技术的机会方面的作用（例如，电子学结构材料;涂层）;建议适当的衡量标准，以确定对NNI目标的进展;和NNI的管理和协调纳米技术研究的民间和军事联邦机构的审查。 智力meritisThis项目涉及审查的联邦计划，以协调政府的努力，支持纳米技术研发，由美国国会和NNCO的要求。 它本身并不是对纳米技术的研究。 研究委员会将审查NNI的管理方法，将选定的技术转让给私营部门的努力的有效性，该计划的目标以及如何评估实现这些目标的进展。具体任务包括：A.审查NNI在最大限度地增加向私营部门转让选定技术的机会方面的作用，评估NNI履行这一作用的情况，并提出新的机制，以促进技术转让和改进NNI在这一领域的业务。评估确定NNI目标进展的当前程序和标准的适用性，建议成功的定义和相关指标，并为可以进行进展评估的组织（政府或非政府）提供建议。复习NNI？更广泛的影响这次审查的结果将是有价值的国会和参与的联邦机构在规划未来的支持NNI项目。 此外，由于该计划的主要目标是开发可转移到工业部门的技术，从而为美国的竞争力做出贡献，因此该报告也将引起各种工业企业及其学术同事的兴趣，他们将把基础研究转化为工业应用。
