Background
In recent years, nanotechnology has
become an increasing focus of U.S. and
global research and development efforts.
The NTP is developing a broad-based
research program to address potential
human health hazards associated with
the manufacture and use of nanoscale
materials. This research program will
include studies of nanoscale materials
that apply existing and novel
toxicological methods to assess
potential health effects associated with
exposure to these materials. In order to
enhance public and stakeholder input
into this program, the NTP has
established the NWG to provide a
structured and formal mechanism for
bringing stakeholders together to learn
about NTP nanotechnology research
related to public health, address issues
related to that research, and promote
dissemination of those discussions to
other federal agencies, nanotechnology
stakeholders, and the public. Additional
information on the NWG, including
charge and roster, is available at the
