Review of the National Nanotechnology Initiative

abstractcts - 0096624 d。纳米科学、工程和技术跨部门工作组（IWGN）和NSTC纳米科学、工程和技术小组委员会（NSET）于2000年8月对纳米科学、工程和技术的现状进行了评估。国家纳米技术计划（NNI）于2001财年启动，白宫2002财年预算请求建议增加该领域的资金。NNI的总体目标是确保美国将充分受益于新技术的发展，并保持或达到在纳米科学、工程和技术的所有领域成为领导者或竞争参与者的能力。国家研究委员会将比较美国在这一领域的现状和达到NNI目标所需的状态。然后，它将考虑以NNI为代表的美国纳米技术研究组合是否解决了为实现这一目标必须弥合的差距。将于2001年10月15日前拟备一份临时函件报告。

AbstractCTS-0096624D. Zolandz, NASThe current status of nanoscale science and engineering research and development (R&D) was evaluated by the Interagency Working Group on Nanoscience, Engineering and Technology (IWGN) and after August 2000 by the NSTC's Subcommittee on Nanoscale Science, Engineering and Technology (NSET). The National Nanotechnology Initiative (NNI) was initiated in FY2001 and White House FY2002 budget request recommended increased funding for the field. NNI has as its overall objective to assure that U.S. will fully benefit from the development of a new technology, and maintains or attains the capacity to be a leader or a competitive participant in all areas of nanoscale science, engineering and technology. The National Research Council will compare the current state of the U.S. in this field to the state required to meet the NNI objective. It will then consider whether the U.S. research portfolio in nanotechnology, as represented by the NNI, addresses those gaps which must be bridged to achieve this objective. An interim letter-report will be prepared by October 15, 2001.
