Description

NIST is soliciting applications for financial assistance for Fiscal Year 2019 (FY19) within the following NIST grant programs:

  1.   the Associate Director for Innovation and Industry Services (ADIIS);

Specifically, the ADIIS Grant Program seeks to support technology innovation and service to American industry in the following fields: bioscience, chemistry, dimensional metrology, electronics, engineering, infrastructure, information technology, manufacturing, manufacturing metrology, materials science and engineering, nanotechnology, neutron research, optics, and physics.

  1.   the Associate Director for Laboratory Programs (ADLP);

The ADLP Grant Program provides financial assistance to support the conduct of research or a recipient’s portion of collaborative research consistent with the NIST mission in the following fields: bioscience, chemistry, materials, physics, engineering, infrastructure, information technology, neutron research and nanotechnology.  

  1.   the Communications Technology Laboratory (CTL);

The CTL Grant Program provides financial assistance to support the conduct of research or a recipient’s portion of collaborative research consistent with the CTL mission in broad areas that support the accelerated development, testing, and deployment of advanced communications technologies in support of both commercial and government applications including: high-speed electronics, wireless systems metrology, antenna and RF capabilities, high-speed and high frequency measurement capabilities, advanced optics, quantum communications, network design and optimization, network modeling, spectrum sharing, and public safety network communications.

  1.   the Engineering Laboratory (EL);

EL’s mission is to support research in the following fields: advanced manufacturing; additive manufacturing; robotics; intelligent systems and information systems integration for applications in manufacturing; polymeric materials; heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and refrigeration (HVAC& R) equipment performance; mechanical systems and controls; heat transfer and alternative energy systems; indoor air quality and ventilation; cyber-physical systems; smart grid; Internet of Things; applied economics; and fire research.

  1.   Fire Research (FR);

The Fire Research Division develops, verifies, and utilizes measurements and predictive methods to quantify the behavior of fire and means to reduce the impact of fire on people, property, and the environment. This work involves integration of laboratory measurements, verified methods of prediction, and large-scale fire experiments to demonstrate the use and value of the research products.

  1.   the Information Technology Laboratory (ITL);

The ITL Grant Program provides financial assistance to support the conduct of research or a recipient’s portion of collaborative research in the broad areas of Advanced Network Technologies, Artificial Intelligence, Big Data, Biometrics, Cloud Computing, Cyber-Physical Systems, Cybersecurity, Forensic Science, Health Information Technology, Human Factors and Usability, Information Access, Information Processing and Understanding, Internet of Things (IoT), Metrology Infrastructure for Modeling and Simulation, Privacy Engineering, Quantum Information Science, and Statistics for Metrology.

  1.   the International and Academic Affairs Office (IAAO); 
  2.   the Material Measurement Laboratory (MML);

The MML’s activities range from fundamental and applied research on the composition, structure, and properties of industrial, biological, and environmental materials and processes to the development and dissemination of certified reference materials, critically evaluated data and other programs that help assure measurement quality.

  1. the NIST Center for Neutron Research (NCNR); 
  2. the Physical Measurement Laboratory (PML);
  3. the Special Programs Office (SPO); and

The SPO Grant Program provides financial assistance to support the conduct of research or a recipient’s portion of collaborative research consistent with the SPO mission in the broad areas of greenhouse gas measurements, and forensic science

  1. the Standards Coordination Office (SCO).
