... Biophotonics Initiative NIST agrees with the panel's conclusion that biophotonics is a very important and rapidly growing industry with strong potential impact on medical applications and the national priority of health care. In 2007, three NIST operating units summarized their assessment of biophotonics for the panel, but the specific current plans for action in this field by the Optoelectronics Division remain unclear to the panel.

... Center for Nanoscale Science and Technology There remains a concern about how the Semiconductor Electronics Division can best make use of the Center for Nanoscale Science and Technology (CNST) , a recently established center at NIST whose mission focuses on providing nanofabrication and nanotechnology resources to NIST and to the outside community, as well as performing targeted research in nanoscience and nanotechnology (research in these areas is also performed in other NIST laboratories)

... Cost and Burden of Providing Calibration Services The Fundamental Guided Wave Metrology group is to be commended for easing out the repetitive tasks of calibrating industrial-type equipment and limiting its services to upper-level standards laboratories. The group should continue the transfer of repetitive tasks to other standards laboratories to make limited EEEL resources available for unique NIST responsibilities already identified or still below the horizon.
