About this opportunity
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) within the Department of Commerce is seeking applications for a Standardization Center of Excellence (SCoE) to support U.S. engagement in international standardization for critical and emerging technologies (CETs) essential to U.S. economic competitiveness and national security. The SCoE will focus on pre-standardization engagement, workforce capacity building, collaborative pilot programs with NIST in CETs, and an information and data sharing hub. Eligible applicants include non-governmental organizations, and the evaluation will consider the applicant's technical approach, management plan, qualifications, and budget.
NIST anticipates funding one cooperative agreement award up to $6 million for the first two years, and up to $3 million per year for up to three additional years, subject to availability of funds. The work is expected to be performed at the recipient's facilities, potentially with collaboration at NIST laboratories. The application deadline is August 7, 2024, and the earliest start date is January 1, 2025. This program is funded under CFDA 11.609 - Measurement and Engineering Research and Standards.
