In this uncertain environment, a committee created by the National Research Council (NRC)—which is administered jointly by the National Academy of Sciences, the National Academy of Engineering, and the Institute of Medicine—issued a report January 25 providing an approach for developing the research strategies and scientific infrastructure needed to address potential health and environmental risks of nanomaterials (http://tinyurl.com /6w7fd4v). The report was requested by Congress and sponsored by the Environmental Protection Agency.
