  • National Nanotechnology Initiative (NNI) Is Managed by the Nanoscale Science, Engineering, and Technology (NSET) Subcommittee of the NSTC Committee on Technology
    THE NATIONAL NANOTECHNOLOGY INITIATIVE Supplement to the President’s 2016 Budget About the National Science and Technology Council The National Science and Technology Council (NSTC) is the principal means by which the Executive Branch coordinates science and technology policy across the diverse entities that make up the Federal research and development enterprise. A primary objective of the NSTC is establishing clear national goals for Federal science and technology investments. The NSTC prepares research and development strategies that are coordinated across Federal agencies to form investment packages aimed at accomplishing multiple national goals. The work of the NSTC is organized under committees that oversee subcommittees and working groups focused on different aspects of science and technology. The National Nanotechnology Initiative (NNI) is managed by the Nanoscale Science, Engineering, and Technology (NSET) Subcommittee of the NSTC Committee on Technology. More information is available at www.WhiteHouse.gov/administration/eop/ostp/nstc. About the Office of Science and Technology Policy The Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) was established by the National Science and Technology Policy, Organization, and Priorities Act of 1976. OSTP’s responsibilities include advising the President in policy formulation and budget development on questions in which science and technology are important elements; articulating the President’s science and technology policy and programs; and fostering strong partnerships among Federal, state,
