government interagency program for coordinating nanotechnology R&D among federal agencies and facilitating communication and collaborative activities in nanoscale science, engineering, and technology throughout the federal government. The NNI defines nanotechnology on its Web site 1 as "science, engineering, and technology conducted at the nanoscale, which is about 1 to 100 nanometers." 2 The NNI focuses on four goals aimed at creating "a future in which the ability to understand and control matter at the nanoscale leads to a revolution in technology and industry that benefits society." The 26 federal agencies that participate in the NNI collaborate to (1)

Without both, measurements have little value for program assessment and management. The committee recognizes the great difficulty in defining robust models and metrics for a field as diffuse as nanotechnology, for agencies as diverse as the 26 NNI participating agencies, and for goals as far-reaching and cross-cutting as the four NNI goals.
