Fort Myer Drive, Arlington, VA 22209 (Metro stop: Rosslyn on the Orange and Blue lines). For directions, please see www.holidayinn.com. Registration: Due to space limitations, pre-registration for the workshop is required. People interested in attending the workshop should register online at https://nano.gov/html/meetings/ humanhealth/register.html. Written notices of participation by e-mail should be sent to humanhealth@nnco.nano.gov. Written notices also may be mailed to the Human Health & IMA Workshop, c/o NNCO, 4201 Wilson Blvd., Stafford II, Suite 405, Arlington, VA 22230. Registration is on a first-come, firstserved basis.

Those interested in presenting 3–5 minutes of public comments at the meeting also should register at https:// nano.gov/html/meetings/humanhealth/ register.html. Written or electronic comments should be submitted by email to humanhealth@nnco.nano.gov until December 1, 2009. Information about the meeting, including the agenda, is posted at https:// www.nano.gov. The main sessions will be Web-cast. Please see https://nano.gov/html/ meetings/humanhealth/ for more information. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For information regarding this Notice, VerDate Nov<24>2008 16:30 Oct 29, 2009 Jkt 220001 please contact Heather Evans or Liesl Heeter, National Nanotechnology Coordination Office. Telephone (703) 292–4533 or (703) 292–7916. E-mail: humanhealth@nnco.nano.gov. Human Health and Instrumentation and Metrology research are used to guide efforts to improve environmental, health, and safety (EHS) protection with regard to nanoscale engineered materials and to monitor trends and progress. The purpose of this workshop is to engage in an active discussion and learn more about the state-of-the-art in (1) Nanomaterials and Human Health and (2) Instrumentation, Metrology, and Analytical Methods by discussing the state of the science to assess research progress, provide insight into gaps and barriers to progress, identify missing components, and suggest milestones to chart progress and next steps as input to the Federal Government’s effort to adaptively manage its nanoEHS research strategy, and build dialogue and strengthen collaborations.
