Opportunity Information: Apply for 2017 NIST PMGP 01
The Precision Measurement Grant Program (PMGP) is a discretionary federal funding opportunity from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) intended to support significant research that advances fundamental measurement science or improves the determination of fundamental constants. In practical terms, the program focuses on work that strengthens the foundations of measurement, improves the accuracy and reliability of key physical constants, and contributes to the underlying scientific infrastructure that makes high-precision science and technology possible. The opportunity is tied to NISTs mission of advancing measurement standards and enabling cutting-edge research and development across scientific and technical fields.
This opportunity is offered under Funding Opportunity Number 2017 NIST PMGP 01 and is administered as a cooperative agreement. A cooperative agreement is similar to a grant, but it generally implies that NIST expects to have substantial involvement during the project, such as collaboration, technical input, coordination, or other forms of engagement as the research progresses. The funding activity category is listed as Science and Technology and other Research and Development, and the associated CFDA number is 11.609, which corresponds to NIST financial assistance programs.
Eligibility is broad and includes a wide range of domestic and international entities, provided they have the appropriate legal authority to receive federal financial assistance. Eligible applicants include accredited institutions of higher education, hospitals, non-profit organizations, commercial (for-profit) organizations, and state, local, and Indian tribal governments. The eligibility list also explicitly includes foreign governments, organizations under the jurisdiction of foreign governments, and international organizations, as well as Federal agencies that have proper legal authority to apply. This wide eligibility reflects the global and cross-sector nature of high-precision measurement research, where impactful work may occur in universities, national laboratories, specialized non-profits, hospitals, and industry settings.
The original application closing date for this particular announcement was February 2, 2017, and the opportunity record indicates that NIST expected to make two awards. An award ceiling is not specified in the source information provided, which typically means prospective applicants would need to consult the full notice or program guidance for budget expectations, allowable cost structures, and any funding limits or recommended ranges. The opportunity was created on December 19, 2016, which places it in a typical federal timeline where applicants had a defined window to prepare and submit a proposal.
Overall, PMGP is best understood as a targeted research support mechanism aimed at high-impact, high-precision measurement work, especially projects that deepen the scientific basis of measurement systems or refine the values of constants that underpin physics and engineering. The program is structured to fund a small number of projects, suggesting a competitive selection process focused on significance, technical merit, feasibility, and alignment with NISTs measurement-science priorities.Apply for 2017 NIST PMGP 01
