Precision Measurement Grant Program

The NIST Precision Measurement Grants Program (PMGP) is seeking applications from eligible applicants to support significant research in the field of fundamental measurement or the determination of fundamental constants.

Eligible applicants include accredited institutions of higher education; non-profit organizations; for-profit organizations incorporated in the United States; state, local, territorial, and Indian tribal governments; foreign public entities; and foreign organizations. Please note that individuals and unincorporated sole proprietors are not considered �non-Federal entities� and are not eligible to apply under this NOFO. Also note that before proposals from federal agencies can be awarded, applicants must affirm that their agency has legal authority to receive funds from another federal agency in excess of their appropriation. Because this notice is not proposing to procure goods or services from applicants, the Economy Act (31 U.S.C. section 1535) does not provide this authority.

The Selection Factors for this competition are: (1) The availability of funding. (2) Whether the project duplicates other projects funded by NIST or other Federal agencies. (3) Relevance to the program objectives as stated in Section I of the PMPG NOFO.
