National Nanotechnology Initiative

The Clinton administration launched a National Nanotechnology Initiative in the fiscal year that began in October 1996. The National Science Foundation is the NNI’s lead agency. Seven other federal agencies—including the National Institutes of Health and the Departments of Commerce, Defense, Energy, and Justice—are also participants. So are the Environmental Protection Agency and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.

The Bush administration’s fiscal year 2002 budget request for the entire project is almost $519 million, 23% more than the $422 million that Congress approved for the purpose a year ago. Worth noting is that Japan and several European countries are generously investing in nanotechnology, too.

NSF and the Department of Defense received $150 million and $110 million, respectively, from NNI last year. NIH received $39 million and, if next year’s request is approved, will get $45 million in 2002.
