brings together researchers and instrument manufacturers to develop new
measurement tools), and programs that enable deep cross-disciplinary collaboration and coordination (for
example, NanoImpactNet (2013) provides a unique research community-driven forum for information-
sharing).
In the committee's November 2012 workshop, it heard from the NNI agencies and the
stakeholder communities regarding the progress made in EHS research. The perspective gained there
helped the committee in assessing research and implementation progress in Chapter 3 and informed the
construction of Figure 4-1. Although the committee recognizes the short timeframe for evaluating
research progress, it strongly endorses the concepts of coordinated, transparent efforts and of
retrospective impact analysis for assessing progress in advancing knowledge in the EHS nanotechnology
research enterprise.
