NanoEHS Environment & Instrumentation Workshop
This workshop was held October 6-7th in Arlington, VA at the Holiday Inn Rosslyn as part of the NNI's second workshop in its nanoEHS series: Nanomaterials and the Environment & Instrumentation, Metrology and Analytical Methods.
Engineered Nanomaterials: Linking Physical and Chemical Properties to Biology
A request for application from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences will invest $5 million annually over the next 5 years to determine integral physical and chemical characteristics of engineered nanomaterials linking to cellular processes and organ systems, and how these findings relate to potential health effects. Letters of Intent are due December 22, 2009. This opportunity was designed in part to meet the goals outlined in the NNI strategy for nanotechnology-related EHS research.
Funding Opportunities
Every week the NNI will be updating the latest nanotechnology and nanoscience-related funding opportunities drawn from announcements from agency websites, grants.gov, Commerce Business Daily and other government databases.
**The NNI Supplement to the President's FY 2010 Budget Released**
The 2010 Budget provides $1.6 billion for the National Nanotechnology Initiative (NNI), reflecting steady growth in the NNI investment.
Big Things from a Tiny World
New nanotechnology brochure released.
The world of nanotechnology can be difficult for a non-scientist to
grasp, and few publications for general readers exist. Now, the
National Nanotechnology Coordination Office (NNCO), with assistance
from scientists in the 25 agencies of the National Nanotechnology
Initiative, has produced a brochure that is geared to a broad public:
