... . ., communications, and information processing systems needed for qualitative improvements in persistent surveillance," OSHA seeks to "educate employers on their responsibility to protect workers and educate them on safe practices in handling nanomaterials," and NIH seeks "new classes of nanotherapeutics and diagnostic biomarkers, tests, and devices." With respect to collaboration among NNI participating agencies, the 2011 NNI Strategic Plan identified specific subjects for close, targeted interaction, including nanotechnology signature areas, "to foster innovation and accelerate nanotechnology development." 1 The NNI reports progress toward the four NNI goals annually in the NNI supplement to the president's budget as required by the Nanotechnology Research and Development Act of 2003 (Public Law 108-153)
