Collaborative Research: Workshop on the Anticipatory Governance of Complex Engineered Nanomaterials, July 1, 2012 - June 30, 2014

guston, David H. / Intellectual Merit：本次研讨会将有助于推动纳米技术EHS研究的发展，以便通过表征纳米材料，更快地评估纳米材料对健康和环境的可能影响。一系列背景文件将涉及以下主题：1。在现有的纳米文献、专利和产品中，我们可以在多大程度上识别复杂工程纳米材料（cenm）及其轨迹？就目前和预期的功能、特性、毒理学特性和生命周期知识而言，我们对正在或可能用于cenm的材料了解多少？3. 当前主要的科学研究人员如何理解构成本小组主要焦点的cenm的中期未来发展、应用和管理问题？我们对当前监管科学和监管政策途径（包括证据标准、决策支持等的知识系统）管理cenm的能力了解多少？我们在多大程度上可以预测纳米材料预测毒理学的现有方法适用于cenm ？更广泛的影响：中央监测系统预期治理讲习班将充分利用有关中心和团体的传播能力。背景文件和报告草案将在各中心的网站上提供，并向其拥有数千订阅者的多个列表服务器发送可用性通知。经过研讨会审查的修订后，背景论文和研讨会报告将适合提交给诸如Journal of Nanoparticle Research或Nature Nanotechnology之类的期刊。在论文发表后，执行委员会还可能为更广泛的纳米社区安排一次简报。公共和私营部门的参与者参加讲习班意味着从中得出的任何观点和/或建议更有可能找到接受的听众。

AbstractCollaborative Proposals: 1235693/1235706Guston, David H. / Intellectual Merit: The workshop will help move nanotechnology EHS research forward in order to more quickly assess the possible impacts of nanomaterials on health and the environment by characterizing the materials in question.A series of background papers will address such topics as:1. To what extent can we identify complex engineered nanomaterials (CENMs) and their trajectories in existing nano literature, patents, and products?2. What do we know about the materials that are being or might be used for CENMs, in terms of current and anticipated functions, characterizations, toxicological properties, and life-cycle knowledge? 3. How do current leading scientific researchers understand the medium-term future development, applications and governing issues of CENMs that constitute the primary focus of this group?4. What do we know about the ability of current regulatory science and regulatory policy pathways (knowledge systems including standards of evidence, decision support, etc.) to manage CENMs?5. To what extent can we anticipate current approaches to predictive toxicology for nanomaterials to apply to CENMs?Broader Impact: The workshop on the anticipatory governance of CENMs will take fulladvantage of the dissemination abilities of the centers and groups involved. Background papers and the draft report will be available on the websites of the centers and notice of their availability sent to their multiple listservs with thousands of subscribers. After revisions from the workshop vetting, the background papers and the workshop report will be suitable for submission to journals such as Journal of Nanoparticle Research or Nature Nanotechnology. The executive committee may also arrange a briefing for the broader nano community following the publication of the papers. The inclusion of public and private sector participants in the workshop means that any perspectives and/or recommendations derived there are more likely to find receptive audiences.
