Description

The NIST’s Technology Partnerships Office (TPO) is seeking applications from eligible applicants for activities to assess the potential economic impacts, resulting from Federal research investments, of meeting the Nation’s need for technology infrastructure

ftn1;">[1] to support the Internet of Things (IoT). By identifying technological and economic trends in IoT research and assessing critical gaps in the Nation’s IoT technology infrastructure, the recipient will produce an economic study to help guide industry, academia, and federal researchers in their efforts to accelerate the critical research needed for timely IoT development.

[1] Technology infrastructure can loosely be defined as the broad base of quasi-public technologies (technologies with varying degrees of public good content) and technical knowledge that supports firms’, universities’, and laboratories’ research, production, distribution and marketing of novel and improved products, processes, and services (e.g., higher quality, more effective, more efficient, more productive).
