About this program
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) within the Department of Commerce administers the Technology Innovation Program (CFDA 11.616), a cost-shared federal financial assistance program supporting high-risk, high-reward research in areas of critical national need, with the most recent grant award dated October 15, 2018.
Program activity has declined significantly. NIST distributed 43 total awards across the program's history, with the pace dropping from nine awards in 2011 to one award each in 2013, 2014, 2016, and 2018. No grant awards have been disbursed in the eight years since October 2018, suggesting the program is no longer actively issuing new funding. The program's award portfolio spans from February 2009 to October 2018.
The program funded manufacturing process innovation and scale-up across multiple technology domains. Recent awards supported production of nanocomposite materials for lithium-ion batteries, silicon nanowires, carbon nanofibers, and high-temperature composite profiles; biomanufacturing advances including genetic engineering of cell lines and adenoviral vector production; infrastructure inspection and health monitoring systems using distributed fiber-optic sensing, unmanned air vehicles, and advanced radar; and water and civil infrastructure rehabilitation technologies. Awards demonstrate particular concentration in advanced materials manufacturing and sensing technologies for infrastructure.
The program structure was predominantly Cooperative Agreements (98 percent, 42 awards) with minimal Project Grant activity (2 percent, 1 award). NIST was the sole funding agency across all 43 awards.
Combined federal dollars obligated totaled $109.4 million against $226.9 million in total obligated dollars (federal plus non-federal cost-share), reflecting mandatory recipient matching or cost-sharing. Recent award magnitudes ranged from $4,407 to $13.9 million, with a representative award of $5.9 million in February 2010 for atmospheric spray freeze-dried powder process advancement and another of $6 million for advanced coating technology for infrastructure in February 2010.
No current grant opportunities are open under this program, and no recent solicitation activity appears in the source material.
