four. Water supplies world-wide are
vulnerable to threats such as
contaminants, changes in land use,
shifting and increasing population,
climate change, and extreme weather.
And one in nine people (750 million
worldwide) lack access to clean
drinking water. Although sea water is
widely available, it currently costs
approximately $2,000 to desalinate an
acre foot of water (or about $6 per 1000
gallons)—about twice the rate a typical
homeowner pays for tap water.
Advances in nanotechnology, such as
nanoporous materials for separation
membranes and nanoparticles that
remove contaminants, offer the
possibility of much faster, cheaper, and
more environmentally-friendly methods
for desalination and other treatment
applications that could dramatically
improve the global supply of drinkable
water.
6. Determine the environmental,
health, and safety characteristics of a
nanomaterial in a month. The need to
more quickly and accurately determine
whether engineered nanomaterials may
pose a risk to the public and the
environment continues to be a major
challenge to the commercialization of
nanotechnology for societal and public
benefit. Much more efficient methods,
including high-throughput toxicity
measurements, sensors to detect
nanomaterials in the environment, and
accurate, predictive models for risk
assessment, are needed to ensure that
the safety of each product containing
engineered nanomaterials is understood
throughout its lifecycle, enabling new
products to be quickly and confidently
made available to the public.
Questions
Respondents are asked to address the
following general questions for each
grand challenge proposed, including for
any of the grand challenge concepts
listed above (or proposed variations):
• What is the audacious yet
achievable goal proposed?
• Why is it important for the Federal
government and others to invest in
solving this challenge?
• What would success look like? How
would you know the challenge has been
met? For the examples provided, are the
proposed end points appropriate and
ambitious yet achievable?
• What would be potential
nanotechnology solutions to the
challenge and what intermediate steps
and activities are necessary to develop
those solutions?
• What potential metrics and
milestones could be used to measure
intermediate progress towards solving
the challenge?

• Can the challenge be achieved in
the next decade? If not, how long will
it take?
• Why is this challenge worth
pursuing now? What recent advances,
trends, or research point to this
challenge being solvable in the
proposed time frame?
• What opportunities are there for
partnerships between the Federal
government, State and regional
governments, foundations, industry, and
academia to support the solution of the
challenge?
• Why do you expect this challenge
to capture the public’s imagination?
