Description
The Technology Innovation Program (TIP) National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), United States Department of Commerce (DoC), is soliciting high-risk, high-reward research and development (R&D) proposals. Fiscal year 2009 appropriations include funds in the amount of approximately $25 million for new TIP awards. TIP anticipates funding approximately 25 projects. A single company can receive up to a total of $3 million with a project period of performance of up to 3 years. A joint venture can receive up to a total of $9 million with a project period of performance of up to 5 years.The America Creating Opportunities to Meaningfully Promote Excellence in Technology, Education, and Science (COMPETES) Act, Pub. L. 110-69 (August 9, 2007), 15 U.S.C.A. §278n (2008), was enacted to invest in innovation through research and development and to improve the competitiveness of the United States. Section 3012 of the COMPETES Act established TIP for the purpose of assisting United States businesses and institutions of higher education or other organizations, such as national laboratories and nonprofit research institutions, to support, promote, and accelerate innovation in the United States through high-risk, high-reward research in areas of critical national need. High-risk, high-reward research is research that has the potential for yielding transformational results with far-ranging or wide-ranging implications; addresses areas of critical national need that support, promote, and accelerate innovation in the United States and is within NIST’s areas of technical competence; and is too novel or spans too diverse a range of disciplines to fare well in the traditional peer review process. The TIP implementing regulations are published at 15 C.F.R. Part 296, and included in the TIP Proposal Preparation Kit as Appendix B.TIP is soliciting proposals under this fiscal year 2009 competition in two areas of critical national need entitled “Civil Infrastructure” and “Manufacturing” as described in the Full Announcement.TIP is holding 4 public meetings (Proposers Conferences) to provide general information regarding TIP, to offer guidance on preparing proposals, and to answer questions.
