NSF-NIST Interaction in Basic and Applied Scientific Research in BIO, ENG & MPS

This is an announcement of a grant opportunity aimed at promoting collaboration between researchers funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) and specialists at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). The NSF-NIST Interaction grant supports collaborative projects in Basic and Applied Scientific Research in Biology, Engineering & Mathematical Physical Sciences (BIO, ENG & MPS).

The grant offers supplement funds to existing NSF awardees, allowing principal investigators, co-principal investigators, post-doctoral researchers, and both undergraduate and graduate students to take part in the collaborative research at NIST.

NIST provides access to its expansive collection of commercial and specialized equipment developed by NIST researchers. This access is open for academic researchers, industry and non-profit organizations who are interested in collaborating on projects of shared interest with NIST.

The end goal of this grant opportunity is to foster interaction and further the scientific discoveries through collaborative research and sharing of cutting-edge resources between the researchers of NSF and the scientific experts at NIST.
