About this opportunity
The Department of Commerce's National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is seeking applications to establish and operate a Manufacturing USA institute focused on using artificial intelligence (AI) to strengthen the resilience of U.S. manufacturers. The institute is expected to conduct applied R&D projects and cultivate workforce development programs to accelerate the deployment of AI technologies that address industry-wide needs for innovation and increased manufacturing resilience. Eligibility is open to various organizations including academic institutions, non-profits, and state/local governments. The application process consists of a concept paper due September 30, 2024, followed by a full proposal invitation-only due around January 23, 2025.
NIST anticipates funding up to $70 million over 5 years for a single competitive award under this opportunity, with a required minimum 50% non-federal cost share. The selected institute is expected to leverage the existing Manufacturing USA network and the NIST-sponsored U.S. AI Safety Institute consortium, with work primarily performed at recipient facilities with potential for collaboration at NIST laboratories.
Synopsis
This funding opportunity is a call for applications to establish and operate a Manufacturing USA institute focused on the use of artificial intelligence (AI) to strengthen the resilience of U.S. manufacturers. Through this competition, NIST expects to select an applicant or applicant team most capable of establishing and leading a public-private partnership that will integrate expertise in AI, manufacturing processes, and supply chain networks to conduct applied R & D projects that address industry-wide needs for innovation leading to greater resilience of manufacturing systems. The AI for Resilient Manufacturing (AI MFG) - Manufacturing USA (AI MFG USA) institute is also expected to cultivate the development of a world-leading workforce needed to deploy institute-developed AI technologies into industrial use. The award will provide financial resources to establish the AI MFG USA institute, conduct startup activities and operate a national effort to accelerate manufacturing innovation and increase U.S. global competitiveness.
