The U.S. government’s funding trends in nanoscale science, engineering, and technology R&D since the inception of the National Nanotechnology Initiative (NNI). The funding levels for nanotechnology by 12 agencies of the U.S. government has maintained high levels since the inception of the NNI due to the 21st Century Nanotechnology Research and Development Act, signed into law in 2003. The agencies that have continued to maintain high levels for the last decade are the National Science Foundation, the Department of Energy, and the National Institutes of Health.
