National Nanotechnology Initiative: Research and Development Leading to a Revolution in Technology and Industry. Supplement to the President's FY 2010 Budget

摘要

This document provides supplemental information to the President's 2010 Budget and serves as the Annual Report on the NNI called for in the 21st Century Nanotechnology Research and Development Act (P.L. 108-153). In particular, the report summarizes NNI programmatic activities for 2008 and 2009, as well as those planned for in 2010. NNI budgets for 2008-2010 are presented by agency and PCA in Section 2 of this report. Information on the use of the Small Business Innovation Research Program (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer Research Program (STTR) program funds to support nanotechnology research and commercialization activities, called for in P.L. 108-153, will be provided in a separate document after updated SBIR data become available later in 2009. Section 3 discusses activities that have been undertaken and progress that has been made toward achieving the goals set out in the NNI Strategic Plan and highlights external reviews of the NNI and how their recommendations are being addressed.
