National Institute of Standards and Technology Announces New $20 Million Grant Program
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) intends to award $20 million in grants to support the construction of new or expanded scientific research facilities. The NIST Construction Grant Program (NCGP) provides competitively awarded, cost-shared grants (non-federal cost sharing of at least 20%) to support construction and expansion projects including laboratories, test facilities, measurement facilities, research computing facilities and observatories. Proposed projects should complement the research goals of one or more of the Department of Commerce's three science agencies — NIST, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the National Telecommunications and Information Administration.
