Eligible applicants include accredited institutions of higher education, non-profit organizations, for-profit organizations, state/local/tribal governments, and foreign entities.

NIST anticipates funding up to 15 awards of up to $200,000 each for a 2-year project period. A 50% non-federal cost share is required. The program is funded under the Science, Technology, Business and/or Education Outreach CFDA 11.620 grant. NIST expects to complete the review and make awards by July 2024, with a start date of August 2024.
