User Guide and Tutorials
The guide and tutorials will help you to navigate the data access tools on the website,
including the search, browse, and comparison capabilities.
Glossary
Key terms used in the Nanomaterial Registry data are described here. If there is
a term that you would like to know more about or would like to see added to the
Glossary, please use the Contact Us page to let us
know.
News
The Nanomaterial Registry includes information about key nanomaterial community
developments through our news bulletins on the Home page and the News page.
Standards and Guidance
The adoption of standards in nanotechnology is critical to achieving quality data
and data reporting. In order to connect you with standards and guidance in the nanomaterial
community, links to various organizations and specific libraries of significant
documentation on the subject of nanomaterial regulating and standards creation are
provided.
Data Management Plan
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the National Science Foundation (NSF)
require each research grant proposal to contain a data management plan explaining
how the data resulting from the grant will be archived and shared for broader scientific
community benefit. The Nanomaterial Registry is an ideal solution to your data management
needs. The Registry team can archive and share your public-ready data. Visit the
Data Management Plan page to download boilerplate
text for your proposal or Contact Us to discuss custom text.
