This award supports the triennial review of the National Nanotechnology Initiative (NNI) and its achievements. The review assesses the United States' position in global nanotechnology research and development. It determines trends and developments in nanoscience, nanoengineering and nanotechnology and identifies critical areas of research where the United States should lead. The study also assesses the current state of nanotechnology resulting from the NNI activities since its authorization in 2003. It evaluates the current impact of nanotechnology on the United States' economy, prosperity and national security, and based on this, recommends new or revised goals, new research areas and technical priorities, partnerships, coordination and management mechanisms, and programs to support those goals. This triennial review of the NNI generates feedback to the Nanoscale Science, Engineering, and Technology (NSET) Subcommittee and the National Nanotechnology Coordination Office (NNCO) to serve the Nanotechnology community moving forward and to guide investments in research and development. Since its inception, the NNI has resulted in many discoveries and inventions, which have had far-reaching technological and societal impacts. Nanotechnology is an inter-disciplinary field. The impact of nanotechnology arises from its potential to significantly transform numerous fields, including information technology, aerospace, agriculture, energy, homeland security, environment, healthcare, national defense, and transportation systems. The project plan is to appoint a committee of experts that meets several times. The committee is given background materials and strategic plans by the NNCO. The committee meets with sponsors and representatives from key federal agencies to discuss the statement of work. It gathers preliminary information on current activities related to the NNI. Subsequent meetings include presentations from academic and industrial representatives familiar with nanotechnology developments in the US and abroad. A final report is issued after a full National Academies review. The study report is disseminated to interested technical communities and the general public through briefings, presentations, a published manuscript and on-line.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

该奖项支持对国家纳米技术计划（NNI）及其成就的三年一次审查。该审查评估了美国在全球纳米技术研究和开发中的地位。它确定了纳米科学、纳米工程和纳米技术的趋势和发展，并确定了美国应领先的关键研究领域。该研究还评估了自 2003 年授权以来 NNI 活动所产生的纳米技术的现状。它评估了纳米技术当前对美国经济、繁荣和国家安全的影响，并在此基础上提出新的或修订的目标建议，新的研究领域和技术优先事项、伙伴关系、协调和管理机制以及支持这些目标的计划。 NNI 的三年一次审查会向纳米科学、工程和技术 (NSET) 小组委员会和国家纳米技术协调办公室 (NNCO) 提供反馈，以服务纳米技术界的发展并指导研发投资。自成立以来，NNI 取得了许多发现和发明，产生了深远的技术和社会影响。纳米技术是一个跨学科领域。纳米技术的影响源于其显着改变众多领域的潜力，包括信息技术、航空航天、农业、能源、国土安全、环境、医疗保健、国防和运输系统。该项目计划任命一个专家委员会，召开多次会议。 NNCO 向委员会提供背景材料和战略计划。委员会与主要联邦机构的赞助商和代表会面，讨论工作说明书。它收集与 NNI 相关的当前活动的初步信息。随后的会议包括熟悉美国和国外纳米技术发展的学术和工业代表的演讲。经过国家科学院的全面审查后，将发布最终报告。该研究报告通过简报、演示、发表的手稿和在线方式向感兴趣的技术社区和公众传播。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优点和更广泛的影响审查进行评估，被认为值得支持标准。
