NOTES

	1. Nanoscale Science, Engineering and Technology Subcommittee, Committee on Technology, National Science and Technology Council. 2005. The National Nanotechnology Initiative: Research and Development Leading to a Revolution in Technology and Industry. Supplement to the President’s FY 2006 Budget Request. March. See the subsection “Federal Support for NNI R&D” in Chapter 1 for more information on the budget and the agencies involved.
	2. Executive Order 13349 was signed on July 23, 2004, to designate PCAST to serve as the NNAP.
	3. The subsection “Development of an Updated Strategic Plan” in Chapter 1 gives details on the genesis of these goals.
	4. The PCAs are (1) fundamental nanoscale phenomena and processes; (2) nanomaterials; (3) nanoscale devices and systems; (4) instrumentation research, metrology, and standards for nanotechnology; (5) nanomanufacturing; (6) major research facilities and instrumentation acquisition; and (7) societal dimensions.
