Obama Asks Congress To Boost Nano Safety $$ - New Haven Independent
(by Gwyneth K. Shaw) President Obama’s newly-minted budget request would increase funding for a number of efforts to promote the development of nanotechnology—and safeguard the health of people, animals and the environment.
Those details are visible in the budget request from the National Nanotechnology Initiative, a White House-driven project that is supposed to coordinate activities among a broad variety of federal agencies, from the Environmental Protection Agency to the Department of Commerce. The president’s FY2013 budget proposal, released earlier this week, requests just under $1.8 billion for work related to the NNI, a 4 percent increase over its FY2012 budget.
