Health care needs with promising nano-enabled technology impact
An investment strategy to accelerate nanoscience into nano-enabled technology for medicine and health should reflect both health need (technology pull) as well as science push. Within this context, science and engineering of nanoscale structures is expected to make major contributions across the entire medicine and health spectrum ranging from mortality rate, morbidity an illness imposes on a patient, disease prevalence, and general societal burden.29,34, 35, 36 The following examples
Nanoscale science and engineering research needed to enable more effective technology
The considerable investment in nanoscience across the world has been leading to many new discoveries. In the second 5 years of the US NNI there is growing effort to identify potential applications for those discoveries and to accelerate their transition into innovative technology solutions to societal problems. Medicine and health provide fertile ground for this goal. For convenience this section is organized about the headings of “In Vivo and in Vitro Diagnostics”; “Drugs, Delivery, and
Present federal programs
Several US federal agencies fund pertinent health research. The foremost is the NIH. In addition, NASA is interested in medical practice in space; the DOD has an interest in warfighter health issues and battlefield medicine; the NSF provides the foundations of medicine in systems biology; the Environmental Protection Administration is concerned with impact on living systems in the environment; and the US Department of Agriculture is concerned with the impact on agriculture. The total federal
Recommendations
Research opportunities and challenges have been identified in each of the subcategories in the third section, “Nanoscale Science and Engineering Research Needed to Enable More Effective Technology”; they are many. It should be noted that more generic questions were addressed in this workshop and that the research funding levels and prioritization among these opportunities and challenges was beyond its scope. From the discussions at the “Re-Engineering Basic and Clinical Research to Catalyze
