The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health through its Nanotechnology Research Center has developed a Strategic
Plan for Nanotechnology Safety and Health Research. This Strategic Plan identified knowledge gaps and critical issues, which
must be addressed to protect the health and safety of workers producing nanoparticles as well as those incorporating nanoparticles
into commercial products or using nanomaterials in novel applications. This manuscript lists the projects that comprise the
Nanotoxicology Program in NIOSH and provides a brief description of the goals and accomplishments of these projects.
