Report Title:	Review of Federal Strategy for Nanotechnology-Related Environmental, Health, and Safety Research
Report ID:	73
Date:	1/1/2008
Report Type:	Committee Report

Country:	United States of America
Organization:	Committee on Toxicology, National Research Council
Summary:	As part of the US National Nanotechnology Initiative, the National Research Council was asked to conduct a scientific and technical review of the National Nanotechnology Coordination Office's report, “Strategy for Nanotechnology-Related Environmental, Health, and Safety Research.” The Council considered the elements of an effective nanotechnology risk research strategy, whether the federal strategy contained those elements, and whether the appropriate research is underway to meet risk identification and management needs. This document contains the Council's review findings, which identify nine areas of a successful risk research strategy: Vision, goals, evaluation of the state of science, road map, evaluation, review, resources, mechanisms, and accountability. The Council found the federal strategy to be lacking in vision, goals, and a plan of action for achieving those goals.
