Nanotechnology Development Gateway: The Project, established as a partnership between the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars and the Pew Charitable Trusts, is dedicated to helping ensure that as nanotechnologies advance, possible risks are minimized, public and consumer engagement remains strong, and the potential benefits of these new technologies are realized. It 'collaborates with researchers, government, industry, NGOs, policymakers, and others to look long term, to identify gaps in knowledge and regulatory processes, and to develop strategies for closing them.' The Project staff seek to 'provide independent, objective knowledge and analysis that can inform critical decisions affecting the development and commercialization of nanotechnologies.'
