Measurement Science and Engineering (MSE) Research Grant Program-Associate Director for Innovation and Industry Services (ADIIS)

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) through its Associate Director for Innovation and Industry Services directorate administers the Measurement Science and Engineering Research Grant Program (CFDA 11.060) to support activities that expand partnership programs focused on technology innovation and industrial competitiveness in critical and emerging technologies.

The program funds industry and technology studies, research and development activities, technology commercialization pathway development, and innovation support programs that strengthen NIST's Baldridge Performance Excellence Program, Hollings Manufacturing Extension Partnership, Office of Advanced Manufacturing initiatives, and Technology Partnerships Office activities. Funded research bolsters measurements, standards, data, and technology R&D within these established partnership programs or through new partnerships.

The source contains no recently posted grant opportunities, application due dates, or eligibility constraints beyond the statement that eligible applicants include U.S. industries, manufacturers, research institutions, universities, and technology innovation ecosystems.

NIST encourages applicants to review the Notice of Funding Opportunity for specific program priorities, eligibility requirements, and proposal preparation guidance, and to contact the appropriate program official for clarification. Applications are reviewed by technical experts and NIST officials, with final award decisions made by the Associate Director for Innovation and Industry Services or designee. Continuation funding may be provided annually within an approved project period based on performance and availability of funds. Award timelines depend on the review process and federal funding availability. Recipients must retain all financial and programmatic records in accordance with 2 CFR 200.333 and comply with 2 CFR Subpart F audit requirements. NIST, the Department of Commerce Office of Inspector General, or another authorized federal agency may conduct an audit of an award at any time.
