Opportunity Summary:
The NIST Standards Services Curricula Development (SSCD) Cooperative Agreement Program is a discretionary funding opportunity from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) designed to strengthen how standards and standardization are taught in higher education. The program provides financial assistance specifically for curriculum development at the undergraduate and/or graduate level, with the goal of embedding standards-related knowledge into academic instruction. Funded projects are expected to integrate standards and standardization concepts into seminars, full courses, and other learning resources, helping students better understand how standards are developed, why they matter, and how they are used across science, engineering, technology, and related fields.
This opportunity is offered as a Cooperative Agreement, which generally means award recipients should expect a more collaborative relationship with NIST than they would under a typical grant. In practical terms, recipients would work with NIST to shape or strengthen educational content about standards and standardization, drawing on NIST expertise and resources where appropriate. The program is tied to CFDA 11.620 (Science, Technology, Business and/or Education Outreach) and falls under the broader activity category of science and technology and other research and development, reflecting its role in building national capacity and awareness around standards infrastructure through education.
Eligible applicants are broadly defined and include accredited institutions of higher education, non-profit organizations, commercial (for-profit) organizations, and state, local, and Indian tribal governments, as long as they are located in the United States or its territories. The solicitation also allows applicants to propose subawards or contracts with other entities, enabling team-based proposals such as partnerships between universities, professional societies, industry groups, or other organizations with relevant expertise. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement stated for this opportunity, so applicants are not required to contribute non-federal matching funds as a condition of applying.
The opportunity was posted on February 11, 2015, and applications were required to be submitted electronically through Grants.gov by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on Monday, April 13, 2015. Applications submitted after that deadline were not to be reviewed or considered. The funding opportunity number is 2015 NIST SSCD 01, and the archived date listed for the announcement is May 13, 2015, indicating the solicitation is no longer open under that posting. For applicants or institutions that needed help accessing the full announcement, the listed point of contact was Christopher Hunton, Grants Technical Assistant, reachable by phone at 301-975-5718.
