Tinkle, Ph.D. Acting Director / Deputy Director National Nanotechnology Coordination Office stinkle@nnco.nano.gov  www.nano.gov National Nanotechnology Initiative NNI Vision: What Do We See a Decade later? A future in which the ability to understand and control matter at the nanoscale leads to a revolution in technology and industry that benefits society. National Nanotechnology Initiative NNI Investment All numbers shown above are actual spending, except 2011, which is estimated spending under the continuing resolution, and 2012 , which is requested amount for next year (FY ‘09 figure shown here does not include ~$500 million in ARRA funding). ** 2012 request (does not include DOD earmarks included in previous years).  0 500 1000 1500 2000 2500 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 $million year $464 million (FY01) to over $2.1 billion (FY12) National Nanotechnology Initiative See the NNI Dashboard @ http://nanodashboard.nano.gov/ National Nanotechnology Initiative Building Infrastructure: Domestic Efforts with Global Reach National Nanotechnology Initiative  •  Cumulative NNI investment of over $16 billion (including the President’s request for 2012). •  Advanced foundational knowledge for control of matter at the nanoscale with over 7800 research projects in all 50 states. •  Developed an extensive infrastructure of interdisciplinary research centers, networks and user facilities distributed across the country. •  Invested significantly in nanotechnology-related EHS research to date and anticipate continuing targeted increases. •  Established major networks for developing public awareness of nanotechnology through informal and formal educational programs. NNI Support for Innovation: The First Decade National Nanotechnology Initiative What’s next? Invest where? National Nanotechnology Initiative NNI Goals • Advance world-class nanotechnology research and development • Foster the transfer of new technologies into products for commercial and public benefit • Develop and sustain educational     resources, a skilled workforce, and the supporting infrastructure and tools to advance nanotechnology • Support responsible development of nanotechnology  2011 NNI Strategic Plan: Organizing the Innovation Pipeline National Nanotechnology Initiative What’s New:  • Measureable outcomes for each NNI goal • Nanotechnology Signature Initiatives 2011 NNI Strategic Plan National Nanotechnology Initiative NNI Goal 2: Foster Technology Transfer • Develop robust, scalable nanomanufacturing methods necessary to facilitate commercialization by doubling the share of the NNI investment in nanomanufacturing research over the next five years. • Increase focus on nanotechnology-based commercialization and related support for public-private partnerships.  • Support user facilities, research centers, and regional initiatives to accelerate the transfer of nanoscale science from discovery to commercial products. • Help the business community better understand the Government’s funding and regulatory environments. National Nanotechnology Initiative National Nanotechnology Initiative •  Address R&D gaps within critical national challenges •  Leverage skills, resources, and capabilities among multiple NNI agencies to maximize scientific and technological progress that may prepare a field for industrial commercialization •  Identify research thrust areas and specific agency programs  •  Select key research targets associated with near-and long-term expected outcomes •  Evaluate progress on an ongoing basis   New Process for Research Collaboration:  NNI Signature Initiatives National Nanotechnology Initiative Agencies: NIST, NSF, DOE, DOD, EPA, IC/DNI, NIH, NIOSH/OSHA, USDA/FS Goal: Immediate extension of methods to manufacture more complex components, systems, and devices that result from nanotechnology and will help secure and strengthen the U.S. manufacturing base by creating the industries of the future.  Thrust Areas: Use nanotechnology to improve • design of scalable and sustainable nanomaterials, components, devices, and processes • nanomanufacturing measurement technologies  NNI Signature Initiative: Sustainable Nanomanufacturing National Nanotechnology Initiative National Nanotechnology Initiative **Soon to be Released** 2011 NNI Environmenal, Health, and Safety  Research Strategy • Protect public health and the environment  • Employ science-based risk analysis and risk management  • Foster technological advancements that benefit society EHS Mission: NNI Strategy Goal 4: Responsible Development National Nanotechnology Initiative Key Concepts in the 2011 EHS Research Strategy Risk Assessment   National Nanotechnology Initiative National Nanotechnology Initiative Integrating Risk Assessment Across the Product Life Cycle National Nanotechnology Initiative National Nanotechnology Initiative Risk Management Research Framework  National Nanotechnology Initiative Critical Elements: •  Prioritize nanomaterials for study •  Establish standard measurements, terminology, nomenclature, assay methods •  Develop informatics and predictive modeling tools •  Stratify knowledge for risk assessment  •  Partner to achieve the NNI EHS research goals, including globally Targeting and Accelerating Research National Nanotechnology Initiative Is that ALL? National Nanotechnology Initiative A Strategy for American Innovation National Nanotechnology Initiative Advanced Manufacturing Partnership:   Creating High-Quality Manufacturing Jobs of the Future in the US • More than $500 million initial capital  • Industry on board: Allegheny Technologies, Caterpillar, Corning, Dow Chemical, Ford, Honeywell, Intel, Johnson and Johnson, Northrop Grumman, Procter and Gamble, and Stryker  • Participating universities: MIT, Carnegie Mellon, Georgia Tech, Stanford Univ., UC Berkeley, Univ. of Michigan National Nanotechnology Initiative Materials Genome Initiative for Global Competitiveness National Nanotechnology Initiative An NSF study said 6 million nanotechnology workers will be needed worldwide by 2020, with 2 million of those jobs in the US.  •  Many of these jobs can be filled by workers with 2-year degrees.   • There are currently at least 2 dozen Associate’s Degree programs in the US, with new programs launching every semester.  •There are more than 70 nanotechnology-specific degree programs in higher education institutions across the U.S. Educate the New Industrial Sector National Nanotechnology Initiative Work Together Better : NNCO Industry and State Liaison The ISL is a new NNCO position with the responsibility to:  • Gather information from businesses and regional nanotechnology initiatives about their challenges, best practices, and activities, •  Serve as a point of contact and informational resource for the private sector about Federal nanotechnology resources, programs, regulatory issues, and contacts, •  Help organize workshops, communities of interest, and other joint activities between the Federal nanotechnology community and the private sector, and • Interface with the NSET Subcommittee’s Nanomanufacturing, Industry Liaison, and Innovation (NILI) Working Group to help develop inter-Agency industrial and state/regional collaborations and outreach.
