INVITATION TO COMMENT ON THE DRAFT NNI STRATEGIC PLAN

Starting November 1, public comment is invited for thirty days on the draft Strategic Plan for the National Nanotechnology Initiative http://nano.gov/ (NNI), which is posted at the NNI Strategy Portal http://strategy.nano.gov/.

The NNI Strategic Plan is the framework that underpins the nanotechnology work of 25 NNI member agencies http://www.nano.gov/html/about/nniparticipants.html. It aims to ensure that advances in nanotechnology R&D and their applications to agency missions and the broader national interest continue unabated in this still-young area of research and development. Its purpose is to facilitate achievement of the NNI vision by laying out guidance for agency leaders, program managers, and the research community regarding planning and implementation of nanotechnology R&D investments and activities.
