Abstract/Summary
The goals of this project are to (1) increase collaboration among project investigators, (2) track progress of program projects, and (3) disseminate results and accomplishments. Thus far, this project has held an annual retreat of program scientists and other update sessions. This project has submitted an annual report for publication in the NIOSH e-NEWS, provided information for articles in the lay press, and developed partnerships with the University of Rochester, the University of Pittsburgh, the University of Minnesota, the National Toxicology Program, NASA, Oak Ridge Labs, and FDA. Over the next 6 months, NIOSH is cosponsoring symposia on nanotechnology health issues in Minneapolis, MN, (October 36, 2005) and Research Triangle Park, NC, (October 2628, 2005).
