NTP is an interagency program headquartered at the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences of the National Institutes of Health (NIEHS/NIH). Three agencies, NIEHS/NIH, the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (NIOSH/CDC), and the National Center for Toxicological Research of the Food and Drug Administration (NCTR/FDA), form the core of the NTP. The Director of the NIEHS/NIH also serves as the NTP Director. NIEHS staff serve as principle coordinators of the NTP’s nanotechnology safety initiative and work together with NCTR/FDA and NIOSH/CDC staff from a variety of scientific disciplines. At this stage, NTP research on nanoscale materials is being conducted primarily through government contracts with outside research organizations, by FDA staff at the NTP’s Phototoxicology Center based at NCTR in Jefferson, AK and the Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition (CFSAN) in Washington, DC, and through collabora
