On March 5, NIOSH placed on its website an updated version of its Strategic Plan for NIOSH Nanotechnology Research: Filling the Knowledge Gaps. The update reflects scientific developments in research since 2005, when the initial version was released, and captures the ongoing prioritization needed to keep pace with rapid advances being made in nanotechnology. The document provides an accounting of current projects and carries NIOSH's research planning forward to 2012. The plan has four goals for research: 1) to determine if nano particles and nano materials pose risks for work-related injuries and illnesses, 2) to prevent work-related injuries through the application of new nanotechnology products, 3) to promote healthy workplaces through interventions, recommendations, and capacity-building, and 4) to enhance global workplace safety and health through national and international collaborations on nanotechnology research and guidance. The strategic plan will be peer-reviewed by the NIOSH Board of Scientific Counselors. The plan is available at http://www.cdc.gov/niosh/topics/nanotech/strat_plan.html.
