About this opportunity
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), a component of the U.S. Department of Commerce, is seeking applications for the Accelerating Federal Technology Transfer (AFTT) Program. The program aims to promote, educate, and facilitate federal technology transfer by developing outreach and educational programs, tools, and best practices that will enhance the ability of the academic and private sectors to engage with Federal laboratories. Key objectives include developing tools and services to promote the utilization of federal intellectual property and R&D resources, creating a training infrastructure in technology transfer, and engaging industry, academia, and state/local governments to facilitate access to federal R&D collaborations and technology transfer opportunities. Applications must be submitted via Grants.gov by May 28, 2024, and NIST expects to complete the review and selection process by August 2024, with awards starting in September 2024.
NIST anticipates funding one award of up to $4 million per year for up to five years under this program, which is funded under CFDA 11.620, Science, Technology, Business and/or Education Outreach. The award will support activities to be carried out in collaboration with the Federal Laboratory Consortium's Executive Board, including NIST.
Synopsis
The NIST's Accelerating Federal Technology Transfer (AFTT) Program is seeking applications from eligible applicants for activities to help promote, educate, and facilitate federal technology transfer. Under the AFTT Program, members of the Federal Laboratory Consortium's (FLC) Executive Board, including NIST, will collaborate with the awardee on the development of outreach and educational programs, tools, and best practices that will enhance the ability of the academic and private sectors to engage with Federal laboratories in technology transfer and research commercialization. Specifically, the awardee will collaborate with the FLC's Executive Board, including NIST, in the areas of technology transfer and research commercialization by: developing the necessary tools and services to promote the utilization of Federal intellectual property, user facilities, and other R & D resources by non-federal partners; creating a suitable education and training infrastructure in technology transfer for the relevant stakeholders; and engaging industry, academic, and state and local government communities to facilitate access to federal R & D collaborations and federal technology transfer opportunities on both a regional and a national level.
