NIST Releases RFIs for Cyber Security R&D Center, Manufacturing Technology Acceleration Centers
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is soliciting public comments on the establishment of a federally funded research and development center (FFRDC) related to integrated cybersecurity tools and technologies. Comments should address how the FFRDC would perform its three primary responsibilities: research, development, engineering and technical support; program/project management; and, facilities management. A Request for Proposals (RFP) from organizations to establish and operate the proposed FFRDC will be released later this summer.
NIST also is accepting public comments on the creation of several new Manufacturing Technology Acceleration Centers (M-TACs). These centers will provide technical and business services to small- and medium-sized U.S. manufactures as they engage in technology transition and commercialization activities. The anticipated M-TACs RFP is scheduled for release in 2014. Public comments for both announcements are due July 22.
