Who can apply

- Others (see text field entitled "Additional Information on Eligibility" for clarification)
Accredited institutions of higher education (IHEs) or non-profit organizations located in the United States or its territories. An eligible IHE applicant may work individually or include proposed sub-awards or contracts with others, such as non-profits or commercial organizations, in a project application, effectively forming a team or consortium. Although Federal entities are not eligible to receive funding under this NOFO, they may participate as unfunded collaborators. NIST seeks to collaborate with a wide range of organizations and encourages minority-serving institutions of higher education to apply.
Is this a realistic fit?
- Most of the program's money (79% over five years) went to colleges and universities.
- No cost sharing or match is required.
