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

The National Science Foundation (NSF) is facilitating interactions between Principal Investigators (PIs) and scientists and engineers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology's (NIST) through a Dear Colleague Letter. This opportunity allows PIs, co-PIs, post-doctoral scholars, and undergraduate and graduate students supported by the NSF to participate in collaborative research at NIST. The research will utilize NIST's instruments and measurement systems. * The opportunity is open to PIs on current NSF awards from participating divisions in the BIO, ENG, or MPS Directorates. * Supplemental support to existing NSF awards may be requested to allow participants to access NIST's research facilities. * The estimated funding for this opportunity is $300,000, with no award ceiling or floor mentioned. * The opportunity is categorized as a discretionary grant.
