Opportunity Summary:
The NIST Standards Services Curricula Development Cooperative Agreement Program (Funding Opportunity Number 2013 NIST SSCD 01) is a discretionary federal funding opportunity run by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) under CFDA 11.609, Measurement and Engineering Research and Standards. It uses a cooperative agreement mechanism, meaning awardees are expected to work collaboratively with NIST rather than operating entirely independently. The central goal is to strengthen education and training around standards and standardization by supporting the development of undergraduate and/or graduate curricula that meaningfully integrates standards-related content into higher education.
The program is designed to fund the creation or enhancement of academic materials such as courses, seminars, and other learning resources that teach students how standards are developed, maintained, and applied in real technical and professional settings. In practical terms, the funded work focuses on embedding standards knowledge into the kinds of instructional experiences students actually encounter, whether that is a full course module, a redesigned course sequence, new teaching materials, or targeted seminar content. Recipients are expected to coordinate with NIST throughout the project so that the educational outputs reflect current and relevant standards practices and help build broader competency in standardization across disciplines tied to science, engineering, and technology.
Eligibility is broad and includes institutions of higher education, nonprofit organizations, commercial (for-profit) organizations, state, local, and federally recognized Indian tribal governments, foreign governments and entities under foreign jurisdiction, and international organizations. Applicants are allowed to apply either as a single organization or as a team, and they may propose subawards or contracts as part of a consortium approach. The opportunity explicitly states there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which reduces the financial burden on applicants and can make participation more feasible for organizations that do not have available matching funds.
Key dates for the 2013 competition were tightly defined. The opportunity was posted on January 15, 2013, and applications had to be received by March 15, 2013, with separate cutoffs for electronic versus paper submissions. Electronic applications were due no later than 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time, while paper applications had to be received by 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the same date; late applications would not be reviewed or considered. NIST anticipated completing review, selection, and award processing in April 2013, with the earliest expected project start date of July 1, 2013. For access issues related to the full announcement, the listed technical contact was Christopher Hunton, Grants Technical Assistant, at 301-975-5718.
