In 2000, President Clinton launched the National Nanotechnology Initiative (NNI) to coordinate federal R&D efforts and promote U.S. competitiveness in nanotechnology. It is a federal interagency program that seeks to expedite the discovery, development, and deployment of nanoscale science, engineering, and technology to serve the public good through coordinated research and development aligned with the missions of its member agencies.

abstract
  • In 2000, President Clinton launched the National Nanotechnology Initiative (NNI) to coordinate federal R&D efforts and promote U.S. competitiveness in nanotechnology. It is a federal interagency program that seeks to expedite the discovery, development, and deployment of nanoscale science, engineering, and technology to serve the public good through coordinated research and development aligned with the missions of its member agencies. Congress first funded the NNI in FY2001 and has provided increased appropriations for nanotechnology R&D in each subsequent year. In 2003, Congress enacted the 21st Century Nanotechnology Research and Development Act. The Act provided a statutory foundation for the NNI, established programs, assigned agency responsibilities, authorized funding levels, and initiated research to address key issues. Federal R&D investments are focused on advancing understanding of fundamental nanoscale phenomena and on developing nanomaterials, nanoscale device]s and systems, instrumentation, standards, measurement science, and the tools and processes needed for nanomanufacturing. The NNI informs and influences the federal nanotechnology budget and planning process through its member agencies and through the National Science and Technology Council (NSTC), an entity administered by the Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) that is the principal means by which the executive branch coordinates science and technology policy. The NSTC's Committee on Technology coordinates the NNI under the Nanoscale Science, Engineering, and Technology Subcommittee (NSET). The National Nanotechnology Coordination Office (NNCO), which reports to the Committee on Technology, provides technical and administrative support to the NSET. The NNI, through the NNCO and appropriate agencies, among others, is directed to (1) establish goals, priorities, and metrics for evaluation for federal nanotechnology research, development, and other activities; (2) invest in federal research and development programs in nanotechnology and related sciences to achieve these goals; and (3) provide for interagency coordination of federal nanotechnology research, development, and other activities.
