Nanobiotechnology Report of the National Nanotechnology Initiative Workshop, October 9-11, 2003, Arlington, Virginia
Abstract
This report on nanobiotechnology is one of a series of reports resulting from topical workshops convened during 2003 and 2004 by the Nanoscale Science, Engineering, and Technology (NSET) Subcommittee of the National Science and Technology Council's Committee on Technology through the National Nanotechnology Coordination Office (NNCO). The workshops were part of the NSET Subcommittee's long-range planning effort for the National Nanotechnology Initiative (NNI), the multiagency Federal nanotechnology program. The NNI is driven by long-term goals based on broad community input, in part received through these workshops. The NNI seeks to accelerate the research, development, and deployment of nanotechnology to address national needs, enhance our nation's economy, and improve the quality of life in the United States and around the world, through coordination of activities and programs across the Federal Government. At each of the topical workshops, nanotechnology experts from industry, academia and government were asked to develop broad, long-term (ten years or longer), visionary goals and to identify scientific and technological barriers that once overcome will enable advances toward those goals. The reports resulting from this series of workshops inform the respective professional communities, as well as various organizations that have responsibilities for coordinating, implementing, and guiding the NNI. The reports also provide direction to researchers and program managers in specific areas of nanotechnology R&D regarding long-term goals and hard problems.
