Opportunity Summary:
The Precision Measurement Grant Program (PMGP) is a National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) funding opportunity meant to support major research efforts in fundamental measurement science, including work that improves how key quantities are measured and research aimed at determining fundamental physical constants. The program is positioned within the broader science and technology research and development space, and it is intended for projects where advances in precision and accuracy can have a real impact on measurement capabilities, standards, or the underlying scientific basis for measurement.
This opportunity was released as a discretionary funding program under Funding Opportunity Number 2015 NIST PMGP 01, posted on December 23, 2014. NIST indicated that awards may be made through either grants or cooperative agreements, which generally means the specific award instrument could vary depending on the nature of the project and the expected level of NIST involvement during performance. The announcement states there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants are not required to provide non-federal funds as a condition of receiving an award.
A key feature of this solicitation is its two-step submission process. Applicants first had to submit an Abbreviated Application under PMGP in order to be considered at all. NIST used these abbreviated submissions to select finalists, and only those finalists who were explicitly invited by NIST were allowed to submit a Full Application. This structure effectively functions as a pre-proposal screening stage, so organizations could not bypass the abbreviated stage and send a full proposal on their own initiative.
The deadline applied to the Abbreviated Application stage. Abbreviated Applications had to be received no later than 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on Tuesday, February 3, 2015. Late submissions were not reviewed or considered. The opportunity subsequently moved to archive status on March 5, 2015, reflecting that the competition period had closed.
Eligibility for the PMGP was broad and included many types of institutions and governments. Eligible applicants included accredited institutions of higher education, hospitals, nonprofit organizations, commercial (for-profit) organizations, state and local governments, Indian tribal governments, foreign governments and organizations under foreign government jurisdiction, international organizations, and federal agencies that have appropriate legal authority to apply. The solicitation notes that additional details were provided in a specific eligibility section in the full announcement.
For applicants needing the official requirements, formats, and submission instructions, NIST provided a full announcement document under the Additional Information link referenced as "2015 NIST PMGP 01 Full Announcement/FFO document." For access problems with the full announcement, the listed contact was Christopher Hunton, Grants Technical Assistant, at 301-975-5718.
