Advanced Manufacturing Technology Consortia (AMTech) Program

National Institute of Standards and Technology · Opportunity 2013-NIST-AMTECH-01

Who can apply

• Others

Eligible applicants are any U.S. organization, excluding commercial organizations and federal entities, located within the United States, such as non-profit organizations, accredited institutions of higher education, and state, tribal, and local governments. An eligible organization may work individually or include proposed subrecipients, contractors or other collaborators in a project application, effectively forming a team or consortium. In a team or consortium, eligible subrecipients are the same types of organizations eligible to be applicants. In addition, commercial organizations may participate in teams or consortia as contractors, or in unfunded roles such as informal collaborators or as third parties that help to accelerate project results or help move them into routine or commercial use. Federal entities may participate in teams or consortia as contractors, informal collaborators, or in other roles allowed by law, consistent with each entity’s authorities, policies, and procedures. An applicant may not submit more than one application. The NIST Hollings Manufacturing Extension Partnership, and its National Innovation Marketplace program, may be a useful resource for connecting applicants with potential subrecipients, contractors or other collaborators.

About this opportunity

NIST is soliciting applications from eligible applicants to establish and strengthen new and existing industry-led consortia that are focused on developing advanced technologies to address major technical problems that inhibit the growth of advanced manufacturing in the U.S., to identify and prioritize research projects supporting long-term industrial research needs and a range of eligible activities including but not limited to creating new or updating existing industry-led, shared-vision technology roadmaps for the development of technologies underpinning next-generation and/or transformational innovations, or undertaking other activities designed to establish and strengthen new and existing industry-led, multi-partner consortia that catalyze technology infrastructure and American excellence in advanced manufacturing.
