About this program
The National Institute of Standards and Technology, within the Department of Commerce, funds the Quantum Economic Development Consortium under Assistance Listing 11.68A to support research, development, demonstration, and application of quantum information science and technology. The source reports no recent grant awards and no recent grant opportunities, so it documents no current funding activity or open solicitation under this listing.
NIST uses other transaction authority under the National Quantum Initiative Act to convene an industrial consortium with non-voting academic and other participants. The stated goals are defining the workforce a future quantum industry will require, stimulating research on quantum-based technologies, promoting collaboration among the Federal Government, Federal laboratories, industry, and universities, and developing international standards for quantum information science and technology security to support commercialization and economic and national security objectives. The consortium does not produce end products. It grows the U.S. quantum economy through industrial community-building and collaboration.
Award criteria vary by competition and by the nature and type of award, and the source directs applicants to the Notices of Funding Opportunities posted at grants.gov for specific criteria. One listed criterion is experience and specialized expertise in facilitating large quantum consortium or center initiatives, combined with knowledge of quantum technologies, commercialization, and the U.S. quantum industry. Terms are set by agreement. The source contains no dollar values.

- Description
The National Quantum Initiative Act (NQI) established the goal of ensuring the continued leadership of the United States in quantum information science and its technology applications. Through the NQI, NIST was tasked convening a consortium of stakeholders to identify needs for supporting the development of a robust quantum information science and technology industry in the United States, and from this emerged the Quantum Economic Development Consortium (QED-C). The QED-C is supporting NQI goals specifically by: · supporting research, development, demonstration, and application of quantum information science and technology; · helping to clarify the workforce that a future quantum industry will require; · stimulating research on and promote more rapid development of quantum-based technologies; · promoting collaboration among the Federal Government, Federal laboratories, industry, and universities; and · promoting the development of international standards for quantum information science and technology security in order to facilitate technology innovation and private sector commercialization and to meet economic and national security goals. With the passage of the NQI, NIST has the authority to use other transactions to create QED-C, an industrial consortium with non-voting academic and other participants to help create the foundation of a broad transformative emergent technology base for these future quantum-2.0 technologies. It is not the goal of the QED-C to produce end products, but instead, to grow the U.S. quantum economy through industrial community-building and collaboration.
