Abstract: The National Nanotechnology Initiative (NNI) is the U.S. Government�s crosscutting program that coordinates Federal research and development (R&D) activities in nanoscale science, engineering, technology, and related efforts among various participating agencies. The NNI was launched in 2000 to accelerate the development of nanotechnology and includes 25 Federal agencies --15 of which (including Forest Service R&D) have their own individual budgets for nanotechnology R&D. The NNI has a cumulative Federal spending of $12 billion and is playing a key role in positioning the U.S. as a leader in both nanotechnology R&D and commercialization.
