Description
Since 1970, NIST, as part of its research program, has provided funding under the Precision Measurement Grant Program (PMGP) primarily to universities and colleges so that faculty may conduct significant research in the field of fundamental measurement or the determination of fundamental constants. NIST sponsors these research projects primarily to encourage basic, measurement-related research in universities and colleges and other research laboratories and to foster contacts between NIST scientists and those faculty members of academic institutions and other researchers who are actively engaged in such work. The PMGP is also intended to make it possible for researchers to pursue new ideas for which other sources of support may be difficult to find. There is some latitude in research topics that will be considered under the PMGP. The key requirement is that the proposed project is consistent with NIST’s ongoing work in the field of basic measurement science (http://pml.nist.gov).
Abbreviated proposals must be submitted under the PMGP in order to be considered for funding. Details of the submission process for abbreviated proposals are contained in the Full Announcement. Only proposers whose proposals have been selected by NIST as “finalists” and who have been requested by NIST to submit a full proposal are permitted to submit full proposals to NIST for the PMGP.
