Year Enacted: 2005

Description: The Alliance for NanoHealth (ANH) Competitive Research Program (CRP) is designed to encourage new collaborations between medical research and biomedical nanotechnology. The fundamental goal of each project selected is to utilize some aspect of nanotechnology in order to improve clinical approaches to diagnostics, therapeutics, or tissue engineering. The advantages of utilizing nanotechnology for developing new clinical strategies are many fold, including miniaturization, disease-specific targeting, and enhanced therapeutic efficiency. The new clinical techniques developed through this program could prove advantageous to the military as they strive to identify new medical strategies for combat and non-combat situations.
