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

合作建议：1235693/1235706 Guston，David H./Knowledge Merit：研讨会将有助于推动纳米技术EHS的研究，以便通过对相关材料的表征，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.我们在多大程度上可以在现有的纳米文献、专利和产品中识别复杂的工程纳米材料(CENm)及其轨迹？2.我们对正在或可能用于CENMS的材料，从当前和预期的功能、表征、毒理学特性、和生命周期知识？3.当前领先的科学研究人员如何理解CENMS的中期未来发展、应用和管理问题，这些问题构成了该小组的主要重点？4.我们对当前监管科学和监管政策途径(包括证据标准、决策支持等知识体系)的能力了解多少？管理CENMS？5.我们可以在多大程度上预测当前纳米材料的预测毒理学方法适用于CENMS？更广泛的影响：关于CENMS预期治理的研讨会将充分利用参与的中心和小组的传播能力。背景文件和报告草稿将在各中心的网站上提供，并将其提供情况的通知发送给拥有数千订户的多个名单服务器。经过研讨会审查的修订，背景文件和研讨会报告将适合提交给《纳米粒子研究杂志》或《自然纳米技术》等期刊。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。让公共和私营部门的与会者参加研讨会意味着，在那里得出的任何观点和/或建议都更有可能找到容易接受的受众。

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.
