you can help increase understanding and take action on the most urgent issues
affecting U.S. competitiveness.
The not-for-profit National Center for Manufacturing Sciences (NCMS, www.ncms.org) has partnered with the National
Science Foundation (NSF) under the National Nanotechnology Initiative (NNI, www.nano.gov) to conduct its fourth study of
trends in nanotechnology and nanofabrication. Due to the importance of the
subject to U.S. national interests, NCMS is polling a broad cross-section of
stakeholders to help policymakers assess the cross-sector economic impact of
the NNI. The goal of the current 2014 study is to document best practices in
nano-enabled product development and integration, and to identify the
challenges organizations (such as academia, government labs, start-ups or
established large manufacturers) face in transitioning nano-scale advances from
the laboratory into sustainable commercial applications. Individual responses are
kept confidential and will only be used in the aggregate for statistical
reporting – all participants will have the opportunity to preview the results
prior to public release of NCMS’ report. The 15-minute interactive survey
questionnaire may be accessed at www.usnanosurvey.org
until March 31, 2014.
