Description

The NIST’s Technology Partnerships Office (TPO) is seeking proposals from eligible applicants to assess the Nation’s current and future need for neutron research sources and facilities. Advanced neutron research facilities, sources, and instruments are essential to science and engineering, to the study and design of new materials, and to the development of technologies and products vital to the U.S. economy, national security, and daily life. The recipient will analyze both realized and potential economic impacts resulting from current and potential future investments in neutron research sources and facilities. The recipient will also assess how well the suite of U.S. neutron sources meets current and anticipated future U.S. scientific and technical needs, in order to ensure U.S. scientific competitiveness and economic vitality.
